I’m in a similar boat. Spotify is infuriating for a variety of reasons. For one, I just cannot understand how they screw up their android app so frequently. It’s constantly riddled with new bugs almost every update. And I hate how little they pay the actual artists.

I’ve been reading the buzz about music streaming services for a long while now. Qobuz is what I’m going to try next.

I also keep Pandora because their recommendations algorithm is the best in the business, in my experience.

Honorable mention for https://odysee.com/ I still use YT but I also like Odysee. And I use Freetube on my Linux laptop for YT, works great! Edit: format
