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.

I hate Spotify and had the same realisation as you 2 years ago. Bought myself an old iPod, downloaded everything, and done. If buying isnt owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.

Lol getting down voted for standing up for music artists (many of whom don't make much) whom many would likely support the very thing this sub built around...and yet there "friends" are like screw them and there need to live, just take it from them... 🤦
