Mind giving some insights on what rug is being pulled by Spotify? You pay them money to access their library and software. When you stop paying, you stop having access. If they raise their prices or remove features, you have the option of stopping your subscription and using an alternative method to listen to music.
Imo raising the prices and reducing the quality of the service you get is a rug pull. You get on board with a certain expectation and then slowly but steadily you get less for your money - rarely a big jump, so you usually just stay on board because, since the last time, your expectations have shifted.
I know I'm just explaining 2020s capitalism to you but the point is, the days of a real, swift rug pull are over; it's death by a thousand cuts now - and whichever one feels to you like a rug pull may as well be The One, because it's only going to get worse, if this one didn't piss you off enough to leave, the next one might.
I say this as a person with 200gb of mp3 & flac. I've never had a sub to any of these "services" - though I do have a huge crush on the people who run ibroadcast.
You guys actually paying for Spotify?
No, I use ibroadcast, and they have an adequate free tier.
Spotify is easy to crack though, I enjoy free adless experience
