Spotify would be a good deal at ten times its price, and then maybe they could actually pay people something.

As an artist, though, this shit is infuriating. And as a human being. It’s like having a fucking Tesla or something, a car that gets nerfed by software updates and corporate greed.

And Netflix and other streaming services, despite supposedly saving us from cable, re-invented cable.

But the good news is, maybe it’s time to get the good old iPods/DAPs back into the mainstream again. You can have a big SD card with all the music and podcasts you could ever want without tying yourself to a specific service.

I’ve been using Spotify for almost 2-3 years. The only thing I can say is the app gets DEGRADED EVERY YEAR!!! They do their best to bring more and more bugs with each update. I’m done with Spotify shit, also they removed a lot of regional songs from my country. The only reason I pay for Spotify is because I can download/rip their music and store it on my Plex Server.

At least the radio has someone that talks and occasionally interacts with the audience

One think that idgaf about paying for is Spotify or any music streaming service. We use a family plan anyway but even full price isn’t great value for money.

Does xManager not work anymore or do you use apple?

Enshittification everywhere. Selfhosting forever

I personally use Stingray music Its free, ads are under 5 seconds if there are any

It was already like this in Europe when I began to use Spotify in 2015. I do not hate it because the app’s free tier is already unusable to me due to the adverts.

They just need to add commercials for Premium that have horns or police sirens and they’ll be all set

GOT IT
