I have the family premium plan and honestly love it. I haven’t downloaded an mp3 in years because Spotify is so convenient. As far as subscription services go, this one is top tier for me.

Now when we look at movie streaming.. well that’s what the music streaming could have been like. What an absolute mess.

Now if only they'd pay the musicians worth a shit. Maybe they should strike next.

Full disclosure I am on Spotify family plan and I love it because

It would be nice if companies didn't slash features and would offer music for free with features beyond that of broadcast radio.

It would be nice if we didn't have the mechanisms demanding infinite growth from companies because sometimes that's just not possible or even necessary.

Imagine if Spotify could just be like ok, yeah we're good no need to make major changes, everyone is happy, life is good thanks. Versus: oh shit we need to boost the quarterly numbers who can we fuck over to get there? I know, customers and musicians both! Yay!

As someone who was once a small artist on Spotify, they do actually pay really well. Better than most places.
