I’ve been a spotify premium user for a long time. still pay $11/mo and it comes with Hulu for that price. i don’t like all the added bullshit they’ve put in like the ai dj or whatever, and i don’t like the “stations” but i don’t like those on ANY service as they all pretty much don’t play what i want them to, so i just make my own playlists and shuffle through those. don’t really give a fuck that they paid Joe Rogan, and i think it’s silly if you do. Like Apple doesn’t do shady shit with your money too? or youtube? or tidal? come on. gtfoh with that ignorant shit.
I doubt they will return with anything specific or it will be something EXTREMELY niche, local band type stuff. Spotify has an extremely broad range of music. There are a few notable exceptions are Garth Brooks (where are the bodies Garth?!) and Neil Young.
