It's a rental model.
If Spotify ever shuts down, I can switch to any of its competitors quickly enough and I have lost nothing.

I've been using Spotify for over 10 years, and I cannot recall a single time where I've been unable to use the service due to being offline and the offline features of their app not working. Not that I am ever offline much these days.

Most young people (and most users full stop) are going to be using the official apps, web app, or supported third-party devices and aren't going to notice a thing.
- rlpb 4y agoI tend to listen to the same music that I like. Additions to my regular listening collection are fairly slow. So it isn't quite the same for me. If it were the nineties, I'd buy an album every few months. I could stop paying, and still have my music. Admittedly, Spotify is good for instant access and discovery. But it costs more than what I would otherwise be spending on buying albums.
