It’s still better than iTunes or Tidal or pirating all your music. I’m sure that will change someday but for now Spotify is the best music platform around.
Edit: you guys may not appreciate their treatment of artists but you know it’s better than those other options from a user experience perspective, and that’s all most people care about.
I straight up disagree with this. I recently (okay, six months now…) started using Tidal alongside Spotify, and literally think the shuffle algorithm is better than Spotify’s. The recommendation system took some getting used to, but I think it’s on par. Just different.
Honestly, my experience with Tidal reminds me of my experience with Vinyl: focus on albums and artist, not algorithmically generated playlists. I feel like I’ve become a better listener due to that, which is why I finally cancelled my Spotify subscription. I’m also sick of shitty mp3 compression…
