Why don’t you subscribe to services that do that instead?

You’re literally subsidizing the behavior you dislike.

1. I’m lazy. I have hundreds of albums saved to my library and I can’t face recreating that.

2. I collaborate on a small number of shared playlists with others who I won’t persuade to move.

Nonetheless I agree with you, I probably should. Until the next platform I choose pulls the same shit and I’m back to square one.

At this point I’m more likely to revert to buying/pirating music and self-hosting than give any more energy to another streaming service.

Spotube might be the answer if you don’t have an iPhone.

Using it on Windows and the client is good enough.
