Because it’s fantastic? Because it has almost all the music out there? Because it has an app on every device under the sun? Because it has amazing artist discovery? Because it lets you know of upcoming shows in your area?

Why wouldn’t you use Spotify if you’re a music fan? I’ve got 200gb+ of music on my NAS that I use Plexamp to listen to but I still subscribe to and use Spotify more.

I'm saying use one of the many streaming alternatives.

Do people use "Spotify" as a generic term for steaming?

No, they use it to mean streaming from Spotify.....?

You asked why people use spotify still, and I answered with many reasons why people specifically use spotify. Not every streaming service is the same, and spotify is widely regarded as the best.

That's got nothing to do with why people use spotify though.

I don't care if their CEO invests heavily in Military AI, neither do I care about them paying slightly less peanuts than Apple and Tidal. Bands make money from shows, not from CD sales or streaming. Execs make money from streaming and cd sales.

Hey, if those aren't caveats for you, or just just prefer an interface too much to care, by all means, do you.

I will.

Maybe ask the question you actually mean next time rather than the exact opposite one to what you want answered.
