The same reason Netflix was initially so popular, convenience. Almost every song you could think of is instantly available at your fingertips, all in one convenient location
The only reasons I still use Spotify is because I get it from a family subscription that my mother pays, so it doesn't cost me anything. And it would be a big pain in the ass to get all my playlists on a local drive, changing to another streaming service would make it easier but then why change anything from how it is right now?
If you ever want to go away from Spotify, use spotube. You can even download all your stuff(just don't download everything at once because you can get banned from YouTube).
What do you mean? Mine is organized by artist, I feel that's pretty standard. I organize my Playlists myself and the blends always turn out good as well and those are entirely voluntary.
There's your problem. You don't believe that a popular song is inherently better. That disqualifies Spotify from viable music aggregators because it only has the popular stuff.
For my fellow f-droid enjoyers, I recommend spotube. There's some bugs in the UI and some unavoidable issues, but it's more than worth it to get easily accessible music without any ads, telemetry, tracking, electron, required accounts or other anti-features
Lol , just yesturday my friend asked me do you see the statistics in Spotify . Like all the stuff you have listened in past year sorted by genre , songs . It was interesting for him to see all the data, but me was like wtf Spotify ,I don't use that shit.
