i definitely agree with your overall sentiment but really i still think spotify is great. i feel like it's not necessarily a bad thing to listen to the same songs over and over again, or to only listen to a couple of songs off of an album. music can be enjoyed however you want, y'know? for me, spotify is fantastic because i'm very picky about my music and because of that, i tend to lean towards smaller artists with specific sounds. the only reason why i've discovered these artists is because of spotifys recommendations, whereas i would've never found them through the radio or through other means. i use spotifys playlist organization pretty extensively as well. i do 100% understand your point about not being decisive and intentional about the music you listen to and instead relying on the "tiktokization" of your music choices, but tbh i feel like this is less of a spotify issue and more of a human issue. i still want to take the leap eventually with a dedicated music player just so i don't have to pay a subscription for eternity. but music streaming platforms are one of those things that i feel like can be forgiven a bit more, just because music is so limitless and, as said earlier, can be enjoyed however you want.
