I left for 2 reasons:

1. Their recommendations became unbearable. I love discovering music but Spotify is not the right service for that anymore. Daily playlists are just several of my favorite artists shuffled. Genre playlists are just several of my favorite artists shuffled. Track radio is just several of my favorite artists shuffled. “Best of techno” playlist? Floating Points and Four Tet - both artists I listen to a lot, but they are not techno, and are not “best techno” - a genre that spans decades.

I don’t know if they overfitted their models and at this point I don’t care.

2. I am fed up with the podcast and audio book push. Not interested in either, don’t want to see it anywhere.

So you didn't primarily leave for the lack of catalog coverage. Ok.

I never said I did. Spotify doesn’t have some of my favorite music but I have it in either lossless format or on vinyl.
