Just go to YTM?

I stopped using Spotify when their client became slow and bloated. Then I went to GPM which was easy (didn't care for my library much).

Then onto YTM (which in the beginning sucked), but is now close to parity with GPM. Took them a while but they are close to there now.

I also found the recommendation algorithm of GPM better than Spotify and also YTM has better recommendations.

Hate that navigating Spotify feels like loading websites. And it has felt that way ever since they moved their app to whatever pseudo-webapp framework it is that they’re using.

Eh, I just left Youtube Music considering to go back to Spotify. Youtube Music has a terrible UI, lacks features, and feels like an afterthought to entice people to get Youtube Premium.

Honestly, if you're paying for Youtube Premium, you might as well use YT Music, but it's all around worse than Spotify.

I'm currently giving Deezer a try.

I've thought about going from YTM to Spotify, but hard to justify since I have YT Premium. One annoying thing I noticed with YTM is if I "liked" a song or artist, Google would assume I wanted to see news about them in my Google News feed. I don't think there's even a way to disable that.

I've been trying Deezer for a week or so. Other than an app crash once, it has been a good experience so far. It's just a simple music streaming app with a good collection of music. Not tied to a Big Tech company and actually based in France.
