1. [+1509, -57] Of course you have to pay. You're using someone else's product.

2. [+714, -22] When I was young, I used to go around to search for MP3 & TXT files but now that I'm making money, it's easier to pay several dollars a month for subscriptions.

3. [+335, -18] I didn't understand why you would pay for music when Soribada was a thing.

4. [+256, -66] Is this an advertisement for Melon and Netflix?

5. [+91, -18] Why pay all that when all you need is Netflix?

6. [+54, -7] Listening to recent music makes my ears go rotten~ No lyrics, no emotions... The 1990~2010 era was the best.

7. [+45, -2] I never understand why people spend $1000 a month for Afreeca balloons. I guess it's their choice.

8. [+31, -5] There's no time to listen to music and no music to listen to.

9. [+23, -0] You don't need anything, you just need Youtube. Just go through the ads...
