Cancelled spotify a week ago shortly before their modest price increase. Reasons: - recommendations keep getting worse, often stuck in a loop - I was repeatedly funneled by autoplay into AI-generated muzak, frequently enough so that ignoring artists wasn't enough anymore - they still have no working listening history - podcasts - offline mode implementation is a joke - good content often disappears because they lost the rights to it Especially the last point is probably universal and the reason why I regret having stopped to fill my MP3 collection. As I grew older, it still seems hard to eschew the conveniences of streaming. So I went to YT premium with music after paying for both sercices for a while. Finally cancelling was a spontaneous decision after reading their announcement that they don't intend to limit or filter AI generated content on their platform. YT is ironically even less curated (often one needs to look for albums as "community playlists" because they're not properly catalogued) The overall package seems better to me though and the recommendations are pretty good.
