Right? As a user, if I listen to 2 hours of content split equally between sources A and B, it seems fair that they each get half of my subscription fee (less Spotify's cut). Regardless of if A views B's content as "less worthy". On the other hand I wouldn't sign up for a monthly white noise service and if A went on strike and didn't renew license agreements, that's what Spotify would become. Record labels do have leverage over white noise which is a commodity (right? y'all aren't beholden to certain streams are you??)
I actually do have certain episodes/streams saved that are my go-tos.
Navigating "rain sounds" has become a lot more difficult lately specifically due to record labels complaining, particularly if you want one continuous 8hr stream. Instead all I can find now are playlists with a bunch of things I don't want. If I didn't have my favorites already saved I wouldn't be able to find them at all now.
