No they're not denying your right to cancel as a business practice

They're just so overwhelmed right now with cancelcation requests that some aren't going through

There has never been so many cancelations at the same before now

Which while a coolheadline, isn't as big as it sounds. By tomorrow things will be normal again and spotify will still be fine

Of course he's not going to. May as well get whatever spare change he can from all the services plus his discography royalties. Neil respects himself and his craft greatly though lol so I wouldn't expect him to crawl back or some shit.

Whole thing is just another virtue signalling fad like #Cancelprime, #cancelwalmart, #canceltarget, #cancelstarbucks, etc. people will go on crusade over then when the weekend is over, they'll go back to work and move on to the next thing...

Tbh this is different from boycotting a store because you just switch your subscription and forget about it without having to actively boycott

i canceled Spotify for another service and now Im on that service indefinitely

its not like theyre like Netflix where Im going to be missing out on any exclusive thatll draw me back, and Im in no hurry to have to rebuild my playlists again

Lol this is why i always pay for subcription stuff by gift card. Just let thr gift card expire and your membership is done. No hassle, no need to call the cancel hotline where they keep you on the line for 3 hours trying to keep you.

tbqh I don't even know the advantages or distinctions between these music stream apps anymore. Spotify simply dominated the field for a long time and so I stuck with them out of habit because shitty UI changes aside, the service itself always worked excellently and still does.

But anyway fair enough, I understand that perspective too.

Yeah I had never looked into it either, but I switched to Apple Music which is better in several ways

-$1 cheaper per month for the family plan
-lossless audio available
-no limit on playlist size (I was constantly running into the 10,000 song limit on Spotify)
-dynamically generated artist radio (on Spotify artist radio are 50-song playlists that stop once you listen to the whole thing)
-easier to maintain a large library

the one (specific to me) con Im finding is Spotify seems to have a better selection of underground extreme metal bands, but apple has some stuff that isnt on Spotify as well

Even trying to do it on the website, they make you go through like seven pages of "are you sure you wanna cancel?" while trying to sell you more expensive subs.

I had no idea so many people paid for it

It makes me watch like 5 minutes of ads and then i get like 30 minutes free.

I don't really see the point of the subscription

Hopefully it doesn't turn into another Chick-fil-A situation where people that didn't particularly care about the product before suddenly feel duty bound to partake month after month.

bitrate represents the density of data in a digital media format. mp3s and other popular listening formats are encoded from original files which involves compression and the loss of some of the original information. for the most part this is able to be done by dropping information which doesn't affect your listening experience. but the higher the bitrate (and other factors), the more of the original data is retained.
