Yea I think people are just exhausted with what companies are doing and are distrustful of any changes. A lot of tech company changes recently have been somewhere between pointless to very anti-user.

This seems ok, and spotify is one of the services that I continue to pay for and use. It does what I want, and the price has been fairly similar for years. Any new features would be nice.

edit:

To start, we’re offering each Premium individual, as well as plan managers for Family and Duo accounts, 15 hours of listening per month—giving them the ability to enjoy as many titles as they want within that monthly allocation.

Well that's not amazing. I guess if you find something you like, you can use another service afterwards. What would be bad is if they made some audiobooks exclusive, like they did with podcasts before (partially?) reversing it
