Parental controls too. My kids wandered into some explicit user generated content, but any controls are now only available to the most expensive family plan. Deleted the account and moved to Apple Music which offers parental controls in iOS settings as part of the normal plan.

But the normal Apple Music plan is paid no?
Yes, but the Spotify family plan is twice the price of Apple Music. Youtube is free but has the same problem, questionable user generated content.
Yes.
?? apple gave computers to schools because children are the easiest targets for eventual customers, even from an evil corporation mindset you shouldn't be creating a barrier to children's access

I have no idea what you're arguing
Agreeing with person I responded to, showing surprise that a product would decide to put parental controls behind paywall
I wish I could hide specific album art/ artist avatars. Doesn't matter why, some are just off putting/gross/ugly.
Also block specific artists. They have bad music. Don't recommend them, don't show up in searches, skip them in playlists.
wouldn't it be easier to download whatever your kids like to listen to and have them listen to it offline?
i know i'm not the target for those services that i wouldn't use in a million years, but i just wonder sometimes if Spotify or Apple Music actually provide any convenience or value at all
