At the time of writing, the service has lost well over $2 billion. But that might not be enough to stop a mass exodus of both artists and fans, as well as a huge drop in market value. Spotify has responded by stating it will add content advisory warnings to any podcasts on the platform that cover the topic of the pandemic. UPDATE: Although we rate Spotify's music streaming smarts, the service was in the centre of a controversy at the beginning of 2022, as it hosts The Joe Rogan Experience – a podcast in which the host has claimed healthy young people don't need the Covid vaccine.ĭue to this, a number of artists, including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, have removed their music from the service, with more expected to follow suit.

With Spotify’s excellent catalogue, move into podcasts, major exclusives, constant improvements to all aspects of the platform and customized playlists that continue to delight users (and prove the Spotify algorithm knows their tastes better than they do), we think it’s one of the very best options for a music streaming service today. These improvements are rolled out regularly and ensure it’s truly offering the best experience for everyone.

Although Spotify’s core features – a great catalogue, intuitive experience, affordable price plan – make it a fantastic service, the platform stands out for its constant innovation by way of new features, redesigns, customized playlists and even new offerings such as Spotify Lite and Spotify HiFi.
