Why even use Spotify at all? Isn’t it like the worst option in terms of actually paying creators? Even YouTube Music is much better option imho, although the app is unresponsive and a UX nightmare.
I think one of the allures of Spotify is a good algorithm which often recommends niche and small artists according to your taste
Edit: after reading my comment it sounds like a fucking ad bot haha
Yeah the US sucks. The spotify app is getting worse and worse. I contacted them to disable the podcast autoplay video on the homescreen, after giving all my details and reasoning they untoggled and told.me to wipe and reinstall…no difference.
I am in the process of getting the family over to Deezer.
I dispise animated or live features on a homescreen.
While that’s definitely true it’s not like there are any streaming platforms paying artists what they actually deserve. Other streaming services do payout slightly more per stream but they also don’t have the number of paying users Spotify has. So you’re likely going to make more off of spotify than any other service even if they do payout less per stream.
Not defending spotify though. Them and the record labels are absolute scum. Just making the point that if you want artists to benefit from you listening to their music just buy their music outright. Or go see them live if you can. Don’t stream it. Because streaming pays basically nothing no matter where you stream it from.
The YouTube music app has always been very snappy and responsive on my phone. I think the ui is slick although not always optimal to navigate while driving.

Really. For a long time it’s kept giving me songs which I’ve heard a thousand times. I can’t seem to find anything new
Youtube is owned by google, who suck dick and are taking an active role in devolving democracy.
Spotify just sucks dick. Also support EU…everyone should move to deezer maybe.
Spotify supports rogan with those $$$$s. fuck that guy

I use deezer, way easier to use downloaders to pirate music off of it, then deactivate my account when I’m not.
