    They lack Linux app, though, innit? Heard of 'em, pondered, researched… also, I’m on a family plan, and it’s not up to me to handle that. So I’d probably have to pay for it meself, separately, adding overall family costs (and increasing mine, to no effect of others). Unless I get everyone to switch, and that might be hard

      Yeah, no Linux app, and no third party apps as far as I’m aware. I really liked the GTK app Spot. But for me, Spotify was no longer an option - I deleted my Spotify account before I found an alternative.

          There’s several issues, but for me it was:

          1. Supporting questionable podcasters like Gwyneth Paltrow and Joe Rogan - I do not want my money to go to these people
          2. Not supporting the artists I actually listen to
          3. Lobbying the EU against AI regulation, which goes directly against my opinions and preferences, again not something I want my money to be spent on

          All of this new stuff is bad, but I already decided that this was not a company I want to support. They seem to represent everything I hate.

            Oh, so the overall stuff. All the usual reasons. Or at least the ones I would think of. Paying bucks to make a free format “proprietary” while not paying shit to artists.

              Yeah, I’m not all that original. :)

              Forgot to mention their efforts to ruin podcasts for everyone. I refuse to listen though anything else than independent podcast clients.
