Not downvoting because your opinions are your own, but Spotify has been trying to worsen your experience. Lately they've been allowing AI-generated content on their platform, and before that they were hiring "ghost bands" to keep royalty money away from legitimate artists.
It is not about my opinion, it is about my experience as customer. While I agree that Spotify is bad regarding some practices, as a person that listen to music I am not as negatively affected by those policies as with others video streaming platforms. Same with steam: while there are some questionable practices linked with steam as monopoly, from a consumer prospective it is still not “shitty”.
A better phrase probably would have been "your experience." If you don't use playlists that Spotify wants you to listen to, you might not notice these issues. I used to prefer Spotify for exploratory reasons, so this is a massive disappointment to me.
