I don't pay for Spotify, but if I do pay for music then I would choose Tidal

I think it was revealed several times already in the past. Few examples out my hat:

  1. When it was revealed how little they pay artists

  2. When they tried to corner the podcast market

  3. When they gave Joe fucking Rogan two hundred and fifty fucking million dollars for an exclusive deal

I don't know, do you people let Spotify decide that much about what you hear? I normally never let the music run through so that automatic recommendations play, but I choose explicitly what's added next in the queue. So the problem mentioned in the article is not relevant to me at all.

I usually only listen to one album at a time, front to back. But I think most people don't do that.

Yes, listening to whole albums is not only great with albums you already know, but it's also my favourite way to get to know new artists. A single song is often not enough to understand the whole picture or range.

Well, seems to be an old-fashioned approach. But I'm also not the type of person who has music blare in the background all day. So I don't like the radio-like approach by Spotify to just let anything play what the algorithm thinks is fitting.

I'm a little weird like that, I often listen to the whole discography if I find a single song or album I like. My music knowledge is very deep and but rather narrow
