Without public playlists I have no reason to use Spotify haha, literally any other service would do.

That's interesting, I thought public playlist listeners would just use YouTube. If not to have access to your own musical choices, what is the point of Spotify?

It plays in the background and is a couple quid cheaper than YouTube's play in background "feature" that totally worked before but was nerfed when they introduced YouTube Premium

Integration with Alexa etc is useful too now that I'm already in the system but I could easily use Amazon's thing there, or Apple's if I fancied swapping Alexa out for Siri
