    Anecdotally, about 25% of my circle have moved to various other services, so maybe not a huge disruption but they’re definitely losing some customers to competitors at least

        I’ve been using Tidal for a couple years and I don’t miss Spotify ever. Same price, higher quality, and they don’t pollute my screen with endless recommendations.

          If you ask support they will tell you that they’re recommendations, not ads. 😂. Like fuck off. I don’t want full screen ads. I want music. Also forget podcasts. God damn.
