This Is Why Taylor Swift’s Album Isn’t on SpotifyIt feels like Taylor Swift has been everywhere lately —news, social media, on top of a New York skyscraper and even on The Voice. One place she’s not, though, is Spotify, one of the most popular streaming services.

Swift’s new pop album, 1989, has been released less than a month ago and is widely expected to be the best-selling release of the year, so its absence from the online services is notable.

“It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is “It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is,” Swift wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed earlier this year. The truth is that artists make considerably less money when a fan listens to a track on Spotify rather than buying a track outright.

Talking Point Reminder: Difference Between Like and AsThe root of the “like versus as” controversy is that traditionally like is a preposition and as is a conjunction. What? Okay, let’s slow down a bit.

Let’s quickly review what a preposition is and what a conjunction is. Let’s quickly review what a preposition is and what a conjunction is. According to the book Woe is I, a preposition is “a word that ‘posi-tions’ words in relation to one another”. Examples are in, around and through. A conjunction is, simply, “a connecting word”. Common conjunctions are and, but, and or.

The proper way to differentiate between like and as is to use like when no verb follows. For example, You paint like William Turner.

If the clause that comes next includes a verb, then you should use as. An example of this is You paint as if you had carefully studied the work of William Turner.

You generally hear like used in everyday speech, so that helps you re-member that like is the simpler word ––or at least it is followed by sim-pler words.
