    I’m just a little confused by this one because I’ve been a heavy user of Spotify since around 2011. I haven’t had any loved features pulled out from under me recently so I was trying to figure out what the circle jerk in here was all about.

    I had tens of thousands of MP3s before I got into Spotify. The user experience of Spotify is so good that I haven’t even considered messing around with managing my own library in more than a decade. I even watched the private communities that were dedicated to sharing MP3 and FLAC disappear as most users just found it easier to use a music streaming service. 🤷‍♂️

      Like I said, I’ve never actually used Spotify - I was just taking about subscription models generally. That person said how was it a rug pull off you saw it coming and while I can’t speak to Spotify specially I can speak to the current state of rug pulls.

      That’s great that they worked for you, but there are a few songs I always used to search for when music services popped up - a few obscure things I like - and they didn’t have them. I have broad tastes but they’re almost all obscure.
