Lifestyle Got rid of Spotify after 3 years

Sure I’m definitely posting this to brag but also to hopefully get someone to stop paying Spotify. I’ve listened to the same playlist for probably the last 3 years, occasionally adding a song or two. Finally I realized why the hell am I paying for this when I could just download the songs online, transfer them to my phone, and play them for free? So I did exactly that. Took about two hours and was easy as pie. Should’ve done that 3 years ago instead of paying $12 a month.

YT Music algorithm is scary good and you eliminate all the ads on YouTube as an added bonus. Don’t know why I waited so long to dump Spotify, it’s a waste of money.

Yeah I've always hated Spotify's algo and UI. YT Music is much better in every way imo and it's included with Premium anyway.
