A 200% increase in the weekly baseline? That’s… not actually all that much. Basically 2 extra weeks worth of cancellations. It’ll make the KPI look bad, but 70k cancellations doesn’t seem material when you have almost 200m users.
That seems like a very small increase to a page that presumably sees little traffic. Sounds like they're committing the base rate fallacy[0] where large percentage increases correspond to small absolute numbers.
"How to break up with Spotify" https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-break-up-61760779 Walks through removing access to your apps and devices, exporting your playlists to a new service, and configuring it with privacy in mind.
>Last week it was reported that Spotify's market value has plummeted by $2.1 billion in just one week amid controversy around the platform's continued support of podcaster Joe Rogan.
Let's ignore the already downward of the share and the tech market itself.
I'm in the process of exporting my playlists. I've been paying for the service since 2011 hate to see them go but I have more playlists, three of them, with Neil Young than I do with Joe Rogan, none. Maybe I'm just an old foggy that likes classic rock, I don't care, I go where my music is. As much as I hate to do it I'm moving my stuff over to YouTube Music.
I re subscribe every month to help their numbers.
On my social bubble, an impressive amount of people have cancelled their premium accounts.
I had a friend who had always recommended me trying out Youtube Music for their recommendation and I used the opportunity to switch, not looking back.. Somehow, Youtube Premium + Music for family is cheaper than Spotify Premium for family.
Did not know there were that many Neil Young and Joni Mitchell fans.
I wonder if there's any studies on the stickiness of cancellations. There were reoccurring pushes to delete Uber since 2017, but not sure how often people went back anyway.
Unrelated to this (bad) story, I wish there was more competition in that field. AFAIK it's either Spotify, Google, Amazon or Apple. Am I missing any others?
i just signed up. what's wrong with spotify?
For those who didn't see this story unfold, this is about Joe Rogan (he signed an exclusivity deal with Spotify a while ago) and the alleged misinformation that was aired on his podcast (mostly about Covid).
What is SimilarWeb and how do they know that? Because I have a hunch that they are pulling the numbers out of their asses just so they are mentioned in articles from shitty blogs like this one.

can we stop with this apple music propaganda already?
I like spotify (I pay for the service) but I dont like anything about this.
I don't like that spotify are doing "podcasts". For me, poscasts are the last (popular) vestiges of the old web. I wish they would remain platform-free. The creators own servers and an RSS feed. Total control for the creators, noone to ask for permisson. Tell me I'm dreaming.
I don't like that Joe Rogan is on spotify. Never heard his show, I understand that he is some kind of post-radio chock-jock. However, I know that he is very popular so by bringing him on spotify is kind of cementing that spotify is how you do podcasts now.
I don't like that spotify felt the need to remove some old episodes for him. If they are really doing podcast they should buy the whole hog, including the warts.
I dont like that musicians are leaving spotify. Those that have very publicly left dont affect me much as it's not my style of music, but it's a bad trend.
As a Swede i personally know people that pays the rent with spotify money. I don't like that that might end.
Sorry for the rant
