I stuck with Spotify for years because of the student discount. It was like $5 a month + free Hulu with ads. Got grandfathered into for years until I cancelled it last month.

Yeah I feel that, I ran out of my student plans long ago so now I sail the seas lol.

I was happy to pay but as we all know prices continue to rise regardless of content holes/droughts/deserts. Maybe the thing you want is on a streaming service you pay for, maybe it was on there last week but no longer, etc etc.

Fuck you corpos, you’re taking money out of your own pockets!

At least 3 people are still paying; hope I was able to help.

Probably no one, as you can pirate anything Netflix produces, use Freetube or Brave to watch youtube ad-free, and spotify is free with ads.

No fucking way I'm ever listening to music with ads...

I would sooner get a tattoo of Ronald Reagan on my ball sack than listen to music with ads. I'm not a barbarian.

I'm stuck in the Network effect. I only use Spotify because Spotify Connect requires premium and all of my friends use Spotify.

Otherwise, I'd be using Deezer or getting all my music locally like I used to.
