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…

Yeah I have been top member for over a decade. It is convenient, there are some things pushing me away though.
The podcast push, autoplaying unremoveable videos on the homescreen.
The algorithym pushing US style hack shit like what loser group of comedians take on politics is despite I exclusively listening to Australian comic book movie news and British Ukrainian war coverage.
Worsening UI/UX, poor offline management
Shorts/Reels
Removing features, from the running tempo sensor to family mixes.
The offline features on Spotify are abysmal. Half my downloaded albums don’t even work. It’s the primary reason I’m looking for an alternative. How can an app with such a high market share be this shitty?
They do not want you offline.
I hate that it hangs loading for so lomg before admitting defeat and showing the offline listings.
Yes! It always does the loading spin animation for like 10 seconds before it shows me my downloaded album. And some albums just never work at all. I have to go online and then offline again just to make it work at all, which defeats the purpose of being offline in the first place.
I just started my free qobuz trial though, and canceled my Spotify account. I mentioned their CEO as the reason I canceled.
