I think Spotify is missing the point. People who care about Hi-Fi, care about the music, which means they care about the artists, which means they likely care about the treatment of those artists.
In my eyes the only real value Spotify adds is their discovery features.
Is that really a unique feature the discovery feature when you can access so many websites and services with similar features? What makes it stand out?
I’d even argue the contrary. Granted, I’m not subscribed to them so I only have the free tier available but I don’t think the discovery algorithm differs between the tiers. After a while the algorithm is basically stuck in a loop repeating the same tracks over and over. It’s what made me cancel right after the free trial ended. Way better to find new music on RED’s top 10 or last.fm
Yeah there are loads of great ways to find music, I normally try to follow artists I’m interest in and research into artists in similar genres and stuff like that
