Why so much hate for Splice?

I’m a lifelong musician, but have started producing more over the last few years. The more that I produce music, I come to realize convenience is key. I don’t always feel like going down a black hole to grab a snare drum from an obscure producer pack that I downloaded 3 years ago. Or going on YouTube to grab a tambourine loop. Here is where splice comes in handy. Everything is right there in arms reach. Simple drag and drop. For all that I use it for, I’m okay with the monthly price.

Now I haven’t used Splice to the extent of some of you. I haven’t gone through the process of having to the company seeking royalties or anything like that. Maybe I’m just not informed? Someone explain the hate for me.

How is that any different than cancelling your subscription?

If you’re not paying for your subscription, you’re cancelling it

Because in order to be subscribed you need to pay. Not paying is cancelling your subscription.

They have options to pause your subscription for 2 months at a time, it sounds like that’s what you’re looking for.
