I thought this meant on top of Premium and I was about to be pissed.

But honestly, Spotify is one of the only companies where I don’t feel like my experience has gotten noticeably worse over my time using it.

In general, I feel like the music streaming market is in much better shape than TV streaming. Price increases have been modest, there's no fighting for exclusive streaming rights (that I'm aware of). I pirate all of my movies and shows, but Spotify's alright, for me it's worth paying. And even if it turned to shit tomorrow, Tidal and Apple music are pretty good too.

My experience got noticably worse that time they tried to make their UI look like tictok. I cancelled and deleted my account and have been on tidal ever since.

I switched from Spotify when they cut my family off of my plan because some of them don't always live with me. I like Tidal a lot, but wish it was easier for me to share a song with friends who don't use it. Ironically, I don't think any family members but my dad actually use my Tidal plan, so basically I just switched out of spite.

My Spotify “family” is all over the place. They just all put in my address when they join and don’t have any problems. Just fyi for yourself or anyone else experiencing the same problem.

Use https://combine.fm paste in a tidal link and share the resulting page, people can click on the service they have to listen to the same song.

Always people that come along and say this.

To them I say: imagine if you had a calculator app that you only ever used for basic addition. Then the calculator app removed the subtraction, multiplication, and division functions. It may would not seem like a big deal to you, but that doesn't mean the app hasn't gotten less useful.

It's true that they shouldn't be baiting in with an unsustainable free version, but this is essentially paywalling the subtraction function, not removing it
