Despite being a shit company, them and apple music, maybe youtube music are the only top alternatives. Yes I can easily pirate and have downloaded spotify music using Spotdl but I also listen to podcasts on there and I don't want it to clutter up my newpipe or libretube feed.
Yea I'll probably keep using them, and advocate for better pay / pay artists another way
This is what people mean where piracy is a service problem. It's much more convenient to have nearly ALL the music available on each of the platforms.
I wonder if that's the biggest reason people pirate movies and TV, but pay for music and games. Not having to juggle where all the content is
