Make LIFE like Spotify 🤣🤣
Summary
What if the subway worked like Spotify? A rider pitches Kareem on making public transit completely free by plastering ads everywhere, turning trains into "the casino, it's Las Vegas, it's just Times Square." The logic is simple: MTA already runs ads, so why not go all in? Of course, there'd be a premium option for $6 that's ad-free. But why stop at the subway? The conversation spirals into making everything Spotify-style. Rent could be cheaper with ads in your bedroom. Doctor's appointments? Watch an hour of commercials before your shoulder surgery. It's absurd, but both riders are completely serious about trading their attention for free services.

So what's your take? They're never going to make public transportation free. So just make it Spotify. Make it free 100%.
Agree, because there's ads everywhere on the subway and MTA is making money from all these ads. Just give me more ads. So just make me up ads everywhere. Dinging it. It's the—it's the casino. It's Las Vegas. It's just—it's just Times Square. You don't have to pay, it's free. But then there's another train line. There's premium Subway, and that's $6. It got more expensive.
It well, it's premium, baby. You got to—they're not giving us socialism. So just make more things Spotify. What else could we use the service for? Rent. Make my rent cheaper. Ads in my room. I'm going to bed at night and it's just like—it's like, "Oh, Squarespace, dinging."
What about doctor's appointments? Before we operate on your shoulder, we're going to make you watch an hour of ads.
100% agree. I'm with this guy. Make the subway free, ads everywhere. I'm in. This episode sponsored by everything.
