There's not a lot I allow myself to feel openly smug about, but my love for physical media and mp3's is definitely where I'm at my most irritatingly smug

Yes

yes sirr, SoundCloud ontop

I've got my issues with Qobuz missing albums from my favorite artists, but I'd prefer to stick with Qobuz than go back to Spotify

Lmfaooooooo

2016: "My MP3s will never betray me." 2026: "Yep."

Been free of them for years at this point, especially when their 'AI' was flagging some of my own artist tracks because they got put in their OWN curated Spotify playlist and said I was botting when it was working as intended and removed me. Absolutely ridiculous, plus all the other reasons haha

Manipulative shit. I know it's hard to untangle from these services, that's by design, but thank you for standing up against the worst of the worst.

No, I'd have to subscribe to cancel and giving them money doesn't seem like the right play.

been cancelled for years now 🤘🏻

1 year free of giving spotify my money

I made the transition to Tidal about a year ago, and it was the easiest thing to swap my catalog from Spotify to that platform. Their daily mixes are much better than Spotify's, and their catalog is just as vast. tidal.com

Me neither. I've already found better ways to gain access to music by now. No streaming for me, I'd rather download.

Company is all sorts o' fucked.

I got fed up with their leadership years ago, but this would have broken the camels back hadn’t the back being broken already.

Deezer is pretty good (and is way better for artists!)

I went to apple music. Better sound quality, better algorithm, better payments to artists, occasional issues with their library organization though. All streaming services are kind of evil but Spotify is the absolute worst so we can at least get off them.

Slopify

Like a year ago at this point. Best decision

Depends on the question.

been quit for like a year and a half. it aint hard

Been off them for two years now, give or take. I have some complaints about TIDAL, but I'd never ever go back to Spotify.

I think it's important because a lot of people think they pay for a CD and it's 'theirs'. It's not. Play it publically as you would if you were a street musician with your own stuff and see what happens ;) But I get the idea of course. They can't take it from you.

Nothing that I know of worth splitting hairs about. Artists probably aren't getting paid but that's pretty much everywhere.

quit several months ago and now I have a local library >:)

Cancel? I never used it.
