Earlier in December, I tried to switch my entire music and audio streaming life over to Spotify. Because, realistically, why was I even on Apple Music? Why did I switch off the platform with all of my friends on it, with podcasts and audiobooks included, and that would give me a cool wrapped at the end of the year? As I found out, there were plenty of reasons I didn't use the green giant.
