Isn't Spotify about to raise its fees again for the second time in about two years? I dropped it a while back after the whole podcast push. Not (solely) because I'm not a fan of the people they chose to fund, but because they penny pinch on music royalties but wanted to shower podcasters with money -- I signed up for music, not podcasts!
Spotify was easy (for me) to replace: I have a huge music collection already. YouTube would be tougher because I mostly rely on it for video clips I wouldn't be able to find elsewhere, except maybe Archive.org.
- dingnuts 2y agoI returned to buying albums when a few that I loved disappeared off Spotify one day. It's bad enough to pay month after month and never own anything but to go listen to a favorite and find it's gone? Unacceptable. At my age I'll never average buying more than one album a month anyway, especially since you can usually hear it first on bandcamp or YouTube so it's not a gamble like the old record store days, so it isn't even more expensive
