@thomholwerda Who in the west is going to use Tencent, Netease or Yandex?
Everyone I know uses Spotify. If I was to switch I would lose
1. Shared sessions (multiple ppl controlling player)
2. All my own playlists
3. All the playlists of my friends
4. Playlists by random users that I love
5. Access to culturally relevant playlists, curated by Spotify
6. A feed with all the latest releases from hundreds of artists that I follow
7. Decently trained suggestion algorithm
8. Concert suggestions
@thomholwerda Granted, I don't care that much for 5., but for some people this is important.
Maybe there are good third party services to transfer followed artists and playlists. But afaik there is no way to export my listening history so the suggestion algorithm won't suck.
Last time I tried to export my followed artists to a different service (Songkick) I just gave up as they only import up to 400 artists, which is not helpful.
