I have no doubt Spotify could or would sell and get even worse. Just like Twitter.
People use it BECAUSE it was free and feature rich. When they start taking away the latter to bolster the former, you’ll see a migration to the next best free, feature rich service. I quit Spotify 4 months ago, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.

I switched to Apple Music. It’s not my fav, but the bundle with other apple services made the price right for a family plan.

cool. i’ll check it out. i have almost all streaming services except Apple TV and don’t plan on getting it so might not make sense for me.

Switching gears to Apple, I had heard of AppleTV but never was aware of the shows. I got it bundled when I switched music apps, and holy shit Ted Lasso and Foundation are amazing. I’m pleasantly surprised with the quality, though it doesn’t have as much content as the other services. But there’s also a lot less bullshit to sift through to find something good.
If you are at all interested, try just a month. You could watch most of the things that interest you in that timeframe most likely.
I’m about a month in and finished out two full series and working on a third.
