I mean fair enough, i use this version of Spotify and don't pay them a single cent: https://bestforandroid.com/apk/spotify-premium-mod-apk/
But if I was a paying customer i would be pretty pissed opening Spotify the first time on my 3 week travels and seeing this crap :-O Funnily there isn't even an option to change the location as suggested. Neither in the modded app nor on spotify.com on FF mobile.
I don't use Spotify because it has an abysmal catalog compared to something like YouTube
Well, YouTube's music quality is basically trash but if you are happy with it don't look for alternatives because you won't find them. Almost anyone I know that wants a music streaming service would not stand that quality for long though.
For context, I use tidal since it's the one one that can serve HiFi music in a native Linux client (third party).
Yeah, and there's also no contest in terms of library
