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...

Ditched Spotify and bought myself a galleon and a tricorner hat instead. Haven't looked back.
Lidarr + Navidrome + Feishin + Metube
Mullvad for acquiring, TailScale and Symfonium for listening while away from home
This sounds like a lot of setup but probably took a few hours in total to set up the various docker images and get them working together.
I spend my saved money on vinyls, official merch, and SoundCloud or BandCamp purchases for my local library.
Yarrr! hello there fellow matey! 🏴☠️ Sounds good but, do you also set this up individually on your wife's and kids phones and devices and keep them updated?
I mostly don't! The kids are too young, the wife has Home Assistant, Symfonium and has web shortcuts for the arrs. Haven't had any complaints since I got 2FA and external domain mapped for Hass.
My friend has had good results with jellyseerr with his wife and kids though haven't got to the point of needing it myself.
