Spotify is a bad actor in many ways, use other services for music.
Spoiler: they want as much money as possible.
... because they're doing everything in their power to ensure that they can keep from paying out royalties to "real" artists?
They just launched a damn "fitness" hub. We've gone from music to podcasts to audiobooks to fitness? What's next, buying Medium or Substack?
because that's bad for the algorithmic slop pipeline that costs them way less than paying real artists
