I have many friends that complain about these things, that noticed the exact same pattern as you.
And yet, every last single time I've ask them "Have you looked into using a different service? Maybe try one?" they mumble out a noncommittal response and never do.
I've tried amazon music google music and Spotify over the years. Spotify had by far the best library for me. The others were missing tonnes of incredibly big bands albums.
It’s because the things they don’t like aren’t big enough to switch and get new playlists etc.
Man I just got Spotify because these two artists I got into don't have bandcamp so it's really hard to actually get files. Not even piracy worked. They're on every streaming platform though.
The question is whether it bothers someone enough to switch, and I cant really say thats the case for me. Because copying the playlists over and the additional price increase (losing the family plan) are too annoying tbh.
This is it for me. I'm on a family plan so I don't pay for premium and I've over 300 songs in a favourite playlist plus probably 100 odd albums saved. That's a lot for me to try and transfer over.
I’d be okay to transfer. It is nice linking to and being linked to Spotify given it’s the default in my circles.
Sorry artists I know they pay nothing :(
