I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

I choose to blame platforms for vile intents rather than users for ignorance. I don't see awareness of politics of technology as obligatory for all authors (even less for users), but creators of those platforms know damn well what they are doing.
Meh, their attempts at privatizing podcasting is why I'm mad at spotify, but same token there's been a few podcasters that definitely go to the spotify platform for reasons, some in the monopolized format...
Since I don't have a spotify, I don't listen to those. I agree with above don't just be upset with spotify, I blame the platform yes, but I also blame the people who got in bed with them.
