There are several reasons why one might consider leaving Spotify:
Low Payouts to Artists: Spotify pays artists very low rates per stream, which can be as little as $0.003 to $0.005 per stream. This is a significant concern for many artists, particularly smaller ones who struggle to make a living from their music on the platform.
Ethical Concerns: Spotify has faced criticism for its business practices, including investments in controversial areas such as AI-driven weapons and political donations that some find objectionable.
AI and Algorithmic Recommendations: There is a growing concern about Spotify's reliance on algorithmic recommendations and AI, which can affect the listening experience and the discovery of new music. Additionally, there have been issues with AI-generated music being uploaded under artists' names without their consent.
User Experience: Some users find the platform's interface increasingly difficult to navigate, with updates making it harder to find specific music and pushing algorithm-driven suggestions over user choice.
If you're considering leaving Spotify, there are alternative platforms like Bandcamp, Qobuz, and others that offer better payouts to artists and a different listening experience.
