Convenience is the only reason I have it. I’ve also got a local DNS server with ads blocked, so that helps. Otherwise I’d be pirating again. Have over 80k songs from back in the day, just need the newer stuff.
Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 1 year agoI listened to 9,852 different tracks in 2022 from 3,247 different artists across 6,720 different albums.
It’s just not feasible for me to buy them all.

I listen to ~1500 different tracks from the 19th Century all the way up to the present. I loved iTunes but the “share with friends over the internet” capability has become indispensable recently.
If Spotify keeps going downhill (and let’s face it, it probably will) then I hope someone creates a decentralized playlist-sharing service so that I can put stuff up. Not even necessarily a piracy service, it would be nice to just have links to buy a friend’s playlist’s content on such a service.
