Switched to Tidal. It's cheaper and better quality. Also no AI music bullshit. They even have a tool to transfer your playlists and so on. Although it's not perfect and I had to remove some tracks it identified incorrectly, because the real track isn't on there. But the vast majority of music is on Tidal as well. There are just a few albums that a handful of artists haven't put in tidal. Not sure why they didn't, because they have other albums there, but I can live with that.
Similar experience switching to qobuz; no llm infection yet, good audio quality, most of the music was there when I used a tool to copy over liked songs/releases/playlists and some of the stuff not on Spotify was there too.

Already canceled.
I pirate everything, buy physical CDs for stuff I want to keep, and donate to artists directly if I can (usually the lesser known ones).
That's the new deal.

Buying their merch is also a good option.

Have fun putting money into Joe Rogans pocket for the privilege of listening to low effort AI slop.

They need more money to cover the shortfall in the grift.
Cancel all streaming services.
Get rid of anything with a monthly payment that you can get rid of.
Buy once or not at all.
Every dent in the armor is cumulative.
Eventually pebbles will make giants fall, and the vultures will feast on their corpses.

I’m already done with them. Will never forgive them for running ads for ICE gestapo. Ever.

Do they just follow the trend set by Microsoft or what?
