The more I know about Spotify, the more glad I am that I don't have an account.
I still buy CDs and digital downloads (that are mine, not in someone else's control). To that end, I've supported several musicians via Patreon and Bandcamp but only when I can own what I pay for.
One reason this is easy for me is that I'm of an age where I am MUCH more fond of the music from <many> years ago than anything I'm hearing for the first time today...
