Yeah, Spotify sucks for many reasons, the ones mentioned not being the least.
Some while ago I returned back to classic MP3 radio streams, grey-area streaming workarounds and occasionally sailing the high seas again.
And instead of throwing my money at Spotify (which then doesn't give it to the artists I listen to), I make sure to support the bands directly.
Go to concerts, buy merch, support promising projects on e.g. Startnext.
Win-Win-Win-scenario:
I get my music, artists get more money, and the creedy corporate music structures around Spotify are not supported any more.
