I revisit the free ones from time to time. But the content  
isn't always up to par with what known and highly successful  
musicians seem to produce.

Spotify's AI experiments with different ways of presenting new  
music. Sometimes it's spot on (pun intended) and sometimes not  
so much.

Spotify also comes in handy when I want to discover and compare  
all the cover versions of a particular song and just play them  
all in a row.  It's fun to find a cover version that truly is a  
work of art that may otherwise go missed.
