We actually canceled our shared Spotify account due to many similar friction points. The main benefit of Spotify was being able to discover new music, and I found it wasn't much better at that than subscribing to specific YouTube channels. The $10/month that I was paying to Spotify now goes towards about 10 DRM-free $1 songs per month, and considering how long I've been paying for Spotify, I think it's worth it. I imagine more of this $1 goes to the artist, too, compared to the royalties they'd probably have gotten from Spotify.
