No, it wasn't any of those typical reasons. The truth is, I've just grown weary of the constant stream of content, the never-ending choices, and the nagging feeling that I'm never quite satisfying my musical appetite, no matter how much I listen.
At the end of the day, I realized that Spotify, like so many other digital platforms, was keeping me in a state of perpetual dissatisfaction. There was always more music to discover, more playlists to create, more recommendations to explore. And while that might sound like a good problem to have, it just left me feeling restless and unsatisfied.
So I made the decision to cut the cord, to disconnect from the endless content machine. I want to rediscover the simple joy of putting on a record, of letting an album play through from start to finish without the distractions and temptations of the digital world.
It's not an easy choice, I know. Spotify has been a trusted companion for years. But sometimes we need to step back, reassess our relationship with technology, and make decisions that align with our values and our needs. For me, that means embracing a more analog, intentional approach to music.
Who knows, maybe I'll even dust off my old CD collection. The choice is mine now, not algorithmically curated based on my listening habits. And that, my friends, is a freedom I'm ready to reclaim.
