Yes, it is. It may not be interesting to you, but it is (as others said) noteworthy when a company bucks the trend of the industry.
This type of story is business journalism — it’s not world news or politics, but it’s still news. And the article isn’t as rosy as the headline — they are still upcharging for the HiFi service if you used the DJ Integration feature (no idea what this is, I don’t use Tidal), and they’re axing military and first responder discounts.
I initially upvoted this comment, but since every other comment you’ve made is weird and combative, you’ve somehow made me stop agreeing with you. It’s an odd feeling.
Some of y’all just like basking in depression and misery. Upset when prices go up, upset when a company lowers prices.
Tidal is generally very highly regarded among those who seeking a music streaming service that’s higher quality and pays out to artists. It’s no surprise this gets a positive shine.
Considering this was written by a reviewer, a person paid to give opinions…
I use Tidal and love it for HiFi playback. They’re kinda like Criterian for music and take the time to capture high bitrate archival masters. It’s pretty cool.
Seems like you’re asserting that the article is sponsored content without being disclosed, in violation of FTC guidelines. Seems like a pretty serious claim that borders on libel. Do you have any proof of your allegations?
Article specifically calls how they’re axing military and first responder discounts, how you still get upcharged for HiFi if you use their DJ Integration feature, and how they’re nixing the free tier.
The article is not an advertisement; it contains some good news for consumers and some bad news for consumers. The notable bit is the good news, hence it’s the headline. And it’s notable exactly because it’s good news — most everyone else is raising prices across the board.

You don’t know the Verge, perhaps
This is just a good news and they are reporting it as such

Ok. So journalistically, the key points to get across here are:
How would you have reported the news? Would you have done something differently?
Not.
It’s not news.

Nothing can make it news.
There is no presentation that can turn an article about a price drop into anything but an ad.
imagine i am hitting you with a newspaper
What about a price hike? If Netflix or Spotify increased their prices, would that be news?
Yes because things are only allowed to ever be bad.

I don’t think I’m going to let mr. ”bad-take—edgy-2006-gamer-tag-name-guy” tell me what to do. So nah.

You okay love? You need a hug?
I think they just need attention.
Dude. You have an opinion, huh? shut up with this ridiculous arrogance. You don’t deserve it, and neither do they deserve your haughty tone.
Provide your opinion next time, without whipping your ego out like a hobo on a train
Why are people downvoting this? I sense strong sarcasm
I appreciate you but no, i was burning him
You really weren’t, though.
Who’re you, kid showbiz?

The Verge is a site focusing on tech products and services.
I cannot believe anyone would find it surprising that they talk about tech products and services.
