> removing the ability for the app to continue to play the clip in the background when switching to another app or locking the phone.

Do you know that the paid version has this exact feature? This is a limitation of the ad-supported version, because advertisers are paying to actually have people watch their ad.



Yes


So they didn't remove it did they? You just refuse to pay for that service and spread bs to make you feel better?


They removed it from in front of the paywall to behind the paywall. The non-paid version used to do it. It was a memorably jarring experience working out WTF happened when background-play was rugged.


I don't remember it ever playing in the background without a sub, when was that?
