    I stopped using it. I have a navidrome server I run and purchase songs from artists directly when possible, otherwise, I acquire them and support artists directly in other ways

      So you pirate their work, giving them nothing, instead of using Spotify where they actually do get paid?

      So you don’t really care about the artist, it’s just an excuse to justify piracy lol.

      Dude just say you prefer to pirate. You don’t need to pretend to be doing it because of morals.

      But how do you discover new things? I don’t mind paying for music but not if I don’t even know if I’m going to like it
