I listen to Spotify on my work computer. In the last few weeks the fan always spins up when I try to play it, and I’m constantly having to reload the window for it to play anything. Playback will stop in the middle of a song sometimes.

open.spotify.com in Firefox on Windows 10. I disabled ublock. Same issue on work network and home.

      No, but I do pay for convenience and for an ad-free listening experience.

      Isn’t that one of the main justifications people give for piracy? That if it were affordable and convenient, people would just pay?

        My problem is that i mainly listen to Video Game OSTs, most of them not being available on Spotify. 🤷‍♂️

        And yes, you are paying for music, just not for specific artists/albums.

        I can easily afford Spotify but I simply don’t want to because free is better. I use modded Spotify with themes, plugins, no ads, unlimited skips. It rules
