As apparently, this move is made to target audiobook listeners and podcast listeners, can I recommend https://audiobookshelf.org

I hate Apple, but after Spotify paid Joe Rogan an absolutely crapton of money for his crappy podcast (which wasn’t worth that much honestly), despite not paying artists well, I swapped.
Most other services have High quality music options or otherwise too, and they’re only being it now? If you pay more money?
They don’t deserve your money. They give very little to you people you listen to

Spotify also has the worst UI of any music service

I actually thought it was fairly standard.
But it does repeat music constantly without new songs too .
And Spotify connect is a bit of a suck fest since you need airplay or Sonos to use it on many speakers really (or matrix)

Spotify being as cheap as it is, has always been a temporary tactic to destroy competition, not an indicator of how cheap Spotify will be once competition was utterly destroyed.
Prices will keep going up and up, but the normalization of artist’s labor being worthless will remain unchanged and the only artists that get a share of Spotify’s increasing profits will be artists that make specific deals with Spotify.
The music industry has been utterly destroyed, this is the fail state, the worst case scenario, especially given the fact that Bandcamp is functionally dead as a force for musicians after it was bought by Epic.

Meanwhile, TIDAL lowered prices and pays artists way more.

How’s their selection for smaller artists? Like breakcore artists?

Give me some artists and I’ll look em up for you.
