I've been using Spotify for almost 2-3 years. The only thing I can say is the app gets DEGRADED EVERY YEAR!!!! They do their best to bring more and more bugs with each update. I'm done with Spotify shit, also they removed a lot of regional songs from my country. The only reason I pay for Spotify is because I can download/rip their music and store it on my Plex Server.

pirates are the FIRST to complain over a product rhwy dont pay for lmao

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Why do you think they aren't paying for it?

[–] Meltrax@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Literally the opposite. Pirating takes time, effort, resources, and I lose access to "everything" - I only get what I take the time to download and store.

If a product I pay for provides a great service, I'll keep using it. It's worth the money for excellent user experience and convenience. It's when they keep upping the price while reducing the features or content that bothers me, and that's when I'd rather spend the time pirating than paying them for a worse product.

Pick someone who doesn't pay for a product to unleash your own corporate bootlicking whine on, because the person you actually replied to said:

I pay for Spotify
