After a decade decade relationship, I break it by Spotify.
Nothing is personal. It’s just Spotify and I’m mature, but we haven’t grown.
For years, I have been tempted to avoid too much. I know that the company faced the accusation of A poor streaming pay For artists, compared to the competitors, and I don’t forget that describes that Joe Ragan platforms, then exclusive to the platform, spread Misinformasi About Covid-19 and other viruses.
I know that Spotify tried Disable RSS feeda move that Independence Siphon Of podcasters. And yet, I’m shy saying that until now this issue is not enough to take time and energy to investigate alternatives to make an alternative, I do from the present school.
Unfortunately, it’s easy to bury our heads in the sand when our technology companies are paid for each month doing things that disappoint. (Yes, I still remember when netflix mounted from my friendsBut I also know I will stop watching the new “blind love”).
We do not feel the subscription one subscription makes the difference – after all, Duolingo Still defeat income estimates after retreating retreat when they say will change the contractor with AI.
But Spotify eventually earned in a way that could not be interpreted: When opening the app, I can’t spoke, a compensation in the request of algorithm.
There is a look at many visual clutter since the time to navigate from Spotify home page to the music you search. The suggestion is at home and center when opening the app.
First, I can see the popular whole screen, the complete screen of the new podcast promotions. Then, I was greeted with a 2-by-4 music advice and the new episode that I was decorating, for having a guest I wanted to be, plus some other albums in the past or more months. Below is a sponsored suggestion for the song I want to be by an artist that I have ever heard. When I navigate to the search tab, I was asked for audio recommendations, and if I roll a little, I saw a vertical video clip that looks like a tiktok.
Easy to be Spoty Recommendations, because the app continued-continuously failed with a customized playlist provided by AI special for you. In Spotify, you don’t have to make a decision – and for some listeners, may happen. But I noticed that I stopped listening to music I wanted to hear, and instead, I hugged music that Spotify told me I want to listen.
Without realizing, I gave up my agency.
This is not saying that my moral qualifications with Spotify does not affect my choices.
According to January Report From the Duetti Music platform, Spotify, the company is worth $ 140 billion, paying $ 3 per 1,000 stream. Amazon Music, Apple music, and YouTube paid $ 8.80, $ 6.20, and $ 4.80, each, every 1,000 flow in 2024. (Spotify before arguing accuracy from the figure)

It’s like a deja vu. In 2022, Joni Mitchell and the youth neil pulls the music from Spotify from the Joe Ragan Missinformation platform. (The two artists return to the platform at 2024.)
Maybe taken me long time to choose from choosing the plating platform leaving you between stones and a hard place. But if you’re inserted in playlists, tools like Soundizuiz Make sure your collection port between platforms.
I chose the apple of music, usually because I got a new iPhone and with a three-month free trial, which helps me get the transition. Also, Apple music has an existence audio that has no way in, that Spotify corrected Promise for almost five yearsSee rankings-.
But I can’t talk to a straight face, I’ve left Spotify that is too big to encourage small people, when I choose another giant technology.
I have ethical concerns about Apple, even if I typed this on the MacBook Pro that connected to the MacBook Pro when Iphone, and Apple watching on the other side of my desk.
Plus, team CEO recently shown in White House to Donald Trump Gift with a Custom, Branded Apple Plaque, That sits on top of the base of the world’s gold base, while performing her fiduciary task for shareholders for free Apple products.
At least Apple’s music applications are not very like spotify.
