2018 was the year i started using Spotify. I think it's great for listening to full albums / new releases that aren't on youtube or soundcloud, bandcamp, etc yet. It's a great streaming platform, and i have dropped my own music on there. I also like creating playlists and using the shuffle play to listen to a band/artists discography for several hours. Lots of older bands have strict record labels, so Spotify is one of the few streaming services that provides their work (Led Zeppelin for example)
