I use Apple Music. I’m not a fan of Spotify’s aesthetic tbh.

I use Amazon Music because I have an Echo (that mini-bowling ball one).

I never got into Spotify.

I’ve never actually used Amazon music. Maybe I’ll check it out. I used to use google play music because I had HUNDREDS of songs that were save that I had on my now dead laptop 😭. My own songs, tons of unreleased Britney demos and shit, and never got the notification that they were going under and I could import them to YouTube music until it was too late. 😔

I only used it because I bought an echo but they honestly have everything. Not for free, obviously.

I pay $5.99 Canadian a month. So that is 22 cents USD. 😆

Honestly Wrapped and people’s history with the platform is all Spotify has, if Apple leaned into their design bag to pull out a cool way to tell people about themselves, it would be over

agree. apple music has better music quality, better playlists, a better UI, and their algorithm isn't based on playing the same songs over and over.

djbbgoose May 3 2024, 23:58:18 UTC

spotify's algorithm has gotten exponentially worse over the past couple of years

indy788 May 4 2024, 00:03:18 UTC

it's so awful. i switched back to apple music after switching to spotify during the pandemic b/c of wrapped and even in 2020 i was able to find new music pretty casually but now they make it difficult i think.

The only thing I use Spotify for is podcasts. I still use actual .mp3 files on my phone to listen to music lol

chll51 May 3 2024, 23:00:24 UTC

Same lol

RIP GOOGLE PODCASTS I MISS YOU.

I found an alternative whose name I don't recall, and the only downside is I have to subscribe to a podcast to download an ep from them.

deerlike May 3 2024, 23:31:01 UTC

I miss it too 😭 there's no real good replacement for it, but I ended up migrating to Audible because I could find most of my podcast subscriptions on there.

The problem is the more indie, small-time podcasts aren't on it though, so I have to hunt them down on YouTube or wherever else they can be found.

Yeah, well, you platform racist/homophobic conspiracy theorist Joe Rogan (who in turn platforms MORE bigots). You can suck it, Spotify.
