So that means they're definitely paying the artists more.... Right?

Damn, I don't really want to go back to ads, but I don't know if there's a good alternative for me apart from taking the price hike.

YouTube Premium too.
Finally considering nipping it in the bud, and going back to ads.

The idea of paying for Spotify kind of mystifies me anyway honestly. I guess if it's worth it to you then go for it, and maybe it's just because I'm a cheapskate who'd rather deal with inconveniences than spend money, but avoiding a minute of ads every once in awhile doesn't at all seem worth even a one-time $10 fee to me, much less recurring.

A dollar isn’t bad imo. Could be worse.

For me personally I will so.etimes skip several songs, especially if I'm driving and can't change Playlists. That would trigger ads and I've gotten used to not having to deal with those from years of having a sizeable music collection and not listening to radio. But it's different for everyone. I use ad blocker on YouTube and now I find YouTube insufferable with ads. |

They need to raise prices, Joe Rogan's going to demand a $200 million deal next time around and you've got to keep the pipeline of antivax bullpoop, terfs and conspiracy theories flowing.

OK asked this before on other places.
Why spotify over Pandora?
I have had free Pandora for years and tried spotify and it was so similar I just stuck with Pandora.
Pretty much music I either do cds,mp3s off my phone or rarely use Youtube Music. And only have Youtube Music cause it comes with PRemium

And the artist still gets fractions of a penny. Yay!
Seriously, unless you're someone like Metallica or Taylor Swift or something, artists won't be making shit.
As convenient as it is, legal streaming has done more to hurt struggling artists than illegal downloads ever did.

I just started putting all my CDs onto my computer a few months ago. I don't know why that is important, it just is okay. Also, put some of my old burned compilation CDs featuring downloaded music from Audiogalaxy in the disc drive and listened to them. That part isn't as important, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.  |

Apple Music put their prices up late last year. Only a pound dearer and I’m listening to music everyday so still great value for me.

I'm actually not sure if we can get it now. |

Because that's what ultimately sold me on Spotify. |

*laughs in weirdo who still buys CDs* Same. Though, if I can't find a CD for a reasonable price, I'll purchase a download. If I can't find a place to buy it, I will....acquire by other means. |
