And Apple Music?

It's almost useless if you don't pay for it.

I have Youtube music and I love it tbh ,not sure how good Spotify is these days

I literally can't live without it

but the plays are still down all across which I think benefits them to pay less to artists lol

Or plays are just more spread across more different songs and artists

Maybe because they deleted the fraudulent accounts that didn't pay.

I only pay because it's basically unusable if you don't subscribe to Premium. A 2 minute ad break after every 2-3 songs is a major pain in the ass. It didn't used to be like that a few years ago. You used to be able to listen to one ad and get 30 minutes ad free (and sometimes I swear they went way over).

And when you choose about 5 songs you want to hear just to be told "you've reached your limit for the day, you can choose your own music again tomorrow."

300 million sounds so little. I thought it was double that.

ChatGPT says this: (not listing the Asian ones)

01 - 300 million - Spotify... number as given
02 - 125 million - YT Music Premium
03 - 108 million - Apple Music
04 - 85 million - Amazon Music
05 - 9 million - Deezer

Seems like YT Music is #2 (and funny how BB doesn't count that anymore), exclduing 125m paying listeners from impacting the charts (US or international)
