I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and I just recently cancelled. Dusted off my old MP3 library and set it up with Navidrome. It’s not perfect but it’s good enough for who it’s for (Me). I will say that I never really much used the radio or recommendations from Spotify so I’m probably a unique case in that regard.
I didn’t either. I suspect the common wisdom of music discovery through Spotify radio or playlists is less common than general wisdom would suggest. I have no doubt it’s still used by the majority, why would they focus on the feature as much as they do otherwise, I just suspect it isn’t as monolithic as what I’ve seen the Lemmy community assume.
