Yeah I moved away from Spotify as well. There's just honestly so much that seems nice but isn't.

Spotify's shuffle is not random, it is an algorithm. They want to keep showing you popular tracks. If I shuffle on an artist's page there's like 0% chance the first song will be an unpopular one from years ago.

Plus they don't even pay the artists what they're worth so why should I pay Spotify?
