on: iOS 13's Music App Sucks
I assume you're using it on Android and not on iOS. The Android client was actually really lovely from a UX perspective, even if I had some complaints about general functionality GPM was missing. When I switched to iOS this past year I immediately ditched GPM for Spotify because the interface was unintuitive and clunky and I haven't looked back.

on: Spotify will now suspend or terminate accounts it finds are using ad blockers
I'm surprised at the amount of entitlement hiding behind "I'm worried about the security concerns of allowing 3rd party JS to run on my device." If you don't want that happening, use one of the many alternatives and take the usability hit. Pandora, online portals for actual radio stations (like BBC Radio 1), and Youtube all work, but maybe don't have as great of a user experience as Spotify (or another paid streaming service). And let's be honest, the small minority of people here who evangelize "Spotify is evil" to friends/family is not going to have a meaningful impact on their user numbers.
