    They don’t even have hi-def or music videos, at least when I was a sub last year. One thing they do have are excellent playlists. I’ve since switched over to Apple Music and just use an app called Song Shift to copy playlists from Spotify right over to Apple Music.

        I gave up on the new music algorithm, it’s dogshit

        Ended up with YouTube music through Vanced and it’s light years ahead in terms of guessing what you might like

        Couldn’t agree more. Too much music on the landing page that I would never listen to. Even their hard rock type playlists are odd because it’ll have some new stuff mixed in with stuff that’s 30-40 years old. They definitely need way better curation and/or algorithms.

    It’s a reasonable increase considering recent inflation, and safe since YouTube just raised their price too. In the long run I would be worried for them since YouTube premium is a much better deal if you don’t care about Spotify’s exclusive podcasts.

    If you’re on Android, search up xManager. It basically lets you install a Premium version of Spotify while having a free account.

      👍

      I came here to say the same thing. I’ve been using it for years and it works perfectly. Unfortunately you can’t download though, but that’s not I would use Spotify for anyway

        It also doesn’t let you listen at the highest quality. ReVanced manager can be fed a YouTube Music APK, been using that ever since and its alright
