someone who very clearly hates Spotify for ideological reasons
Why would you say that? It's a pretty harsh dig, and it's not justified. I tried Spotify and didn't like it. I never said I hated it. I don't like it because I weight its trade-offs differently than you. I mean, have YOU tried the alternative I've suggested? If not, is it because of your ideology?
Spotify is amazing for discovery, they’re holding it wrong.
