I hear ya. I canceled spotify because of it, because all i wanted was to hear my stuff i consciously subscribed to and only then, when i am in the mood, i want to explore. But no, ya at the hand of what they think is best. And now Youtube does the same. The entire industry is ripe to be disrupted. Wishful thinking. I hate it all. Haha.
Though, from a technical point of view it is top. Always working. Always crisp.
