Yearly subscription - please bring them back

[user-removed]

Without any announcement my yearly premium subscription has been changed to monthly. From other posters I learned that the only way to overcome that is to buy a Gift Card with a subscription for a year for yourself. A strange detour, plus that does not renew automatically.

Monthly subscriptions mean 12x extra administration costs (yes, I use Spotify for my business).

So - I would like to suggestion strongly to reintroduce the yearly subscriptions.

Buy a gift card to yourself for one year.

You guys should have given us an option... 
Some of us like the yearly subscritpion!!

What you have effectively done is made it easier for those of us thinking about jumping ship to another company much easier...
I do realize that offering a month to month subscritpion makes it easier to get new clients...but YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST LET US HAVE A CHOICE!!!

I love Spotify.. .but you guys have done some dumb stuff as of late.
