So now that Tidal has moved its Hi-Fi tier price down to match Apple's wtf is Spotify doing? Charging more than the competition, paying artists less, and not even offering lossless?

Spotify is less vulnerable to customer churn compared to TV/movie streaming services, as users are less likely to switch music streaming providers due to the hassle of rebuilding playlists and losing personalized recommendations.

There are services for transferring playlists

I predict in a few months, they will put their API behind a paid tier.

Data takeouts are non-optional under the GDPR, so I would be very surprised if that happens.
