Spotify in on itself is worth paying for BUT...
Their app for android sucks blue donkey balls and I'd happily pay more if I'd get to use a slightly less retarded cousin of this app.
The other but:
Spotify in on itself is not very bad right now and basically could and SHOULD continue as-is forever.
However, the economic system as it currently is requires it to continually come up with new crap that nobody needs nor wants (see also all Microsoft software that went from absolute shit thirty years ago to absolute slimey shit with lots of useless but pretty ding dong bells attached to it with a nice camera hidden inside to spy on the insides of your butthole) and it only a matter of time before...
Some exec gets hired there that promises to double their revenue, then implements some shit that will double their revenue once, gets this exec his bonus upon which he immediately quits to go to the next company to fuck over with a pineapple, leaving Spotify with a huge exodus of users, a dwindling service, and two years later it's dead.
I've seen this cycle with too many large companies, and it's the same story over and over. Be it Boeing, Disney, just about all large game companies, etc etc..
What did Boeing do?
Dreamliner and 737 MAX, the latest being more egregious since people died.
Hire a bunch of managers that made loads of decisions that made Boeing a lot of money short term (like exporting loads of complicated jobs on programming flight computers) to Indian companies that were cheap and rather incompetent. The results were predictable, all 737 maxes being grounded for years, Boeing went closer to bankruptcy than ever before and those managers were already long gone with their big bonuses.
