We hosted parties for our daughters when they were teens (15-16). They weren't big - maybe 8 to 10 friends. No alcohol, but lots of food off the grill. On occasion, we let them drink alcohol with us after they turned 18 at home with no friends, which is legal in our state.
why wouldn’t you want all your audio entertainment in one place?
Because Spotify is known to track and sell your listening habits. It's fine (for me) that they track that I listen to AC/DC right before Ghostly Kisses. Music is music. A person's podcasts can get a lot more personal. Politically, emotionally, and religiously personal. I don't like to be profiled.
I would have fixed the damn API to push ads out to third party apps, with ad revenue sharing. Then implemented a per user API price to enable browsing ad free.
The very same thing happened to me. It's amazing to me how fast Lemmy.world has grown in the few weeks I've been here!
