I never paid for Spotify and only rarely used it on the desktop if I was interested in hearing something someone mentioned or to look up something.

But I also gave up the buying music thing too, expect for very rarely. There is so much freely traded music, and tons of live music, and icecast and other radio stations are still a thing. There is more than I could listen to already.

Podcasts have replaced the vast majority listening time in the car.

Then at home while working it is SOMA FM radio. I do give them money I guess, but its all donation.
