People won't sacrifice anything for their principles anymore... "It's too inconvenient!"
Was so easy to swap over to tidal. (not perfect, I know).
I've even gotten a family plan and offered family what amounts to free service.
I've sent tutorials on converting their libraries using a super easy service that's still less $ than just continuing to pay for spotify.
They are still on spotify because it's easier than giving a shit.
Tidal had the same issue until a few weeks ago. Now they also put an AI badge on AI music and give you the option to never hear it.
IIRC they also aren't paying AI "artists" so that should take away some of the incentive to even try. In theory anyway.
It gives them a huge incentive to push AI artists though. Royalty free streaming.
