Woman kicks ex-sister-in-law off of the family Spotify plan, accidentally sparks family conflict: 'She chose to leave the family, so she gave up any family-related benefits'

I remember the good old days, when all you needed to share streaming services was someone's username and password. Sure, some websites didn't allow you to stream music or movies at the same time from the same user, and it was beyond frustrating to log back in and find someone had binge-watched your show, leaving you several episodes ahead and spoiled. So it wasn't a perfect system by any means, but it was way cheaper.

Nowadays, most streaming services don't allow people to share accounts like this anymore. When it comes to Spotify, each individual must have their own account and user. However, they do offer a family plan: a group subscription for up to six people, letting them share the benefits of Spotify Premium for a discounted price. In this system, only one account holder pays the monthly fee. If the other people are children, they're probably not coughing up cash to pay off their monthly subscription, but if everyone in the family account is a grown, employed, bill-paying adult, then the expectations are a little different.

When this new bride kicked her ex-sister-in-law out of the family Spotify plan, it wasn't out of malice. The ex-SIL hadn't actually paid her share in a long time, and considering that she's the one that filed for divorce, it didn't seem fair for her to still be reaping family benefits. The logic is sound to me, but her brother-in-law didn't take well to the news.

It was going to happen eventually. Even if she had been paying her share this whole time, it simply makes sense that eventually she would have to be removed from the family plan consider that she is, well, not part of the family.

Maybe our narrator could reach out herself to her ex-SIL. There is no particular reason that her BIL would have to be the one to break the news.
