Celebrating 10 Years of using Spotify!

[MattSuda]

I'm celebrating 10 years since I started using Spotify and 9 years since I joined the Spotify Stars Program!

10 years ago I started using a new music app called Spotify! Over the last decade, I've met amazing Spotify employees and users, discovered amazing artists, and fell in love with music. I've written thousands of posts in the Spotify Community, and helped lots of users and artists so they can get back to enjoying the music or get their music heard. It's been an incredible adventure! Looking forward to many more years of music! 💚 🎵 🙂

Spotify join date: September 24, 2011 shortly after becoming available in the USA

I celebrated with an awesome green Spotify cake! 🎂 💚

Flavor: Chocolate with vanilla buttercream

Hi Matt.

I still remember you from Stockholm. That was 2014 I think?

I was community star just like you. Glad to see you still around. Enjoy your 10 years of Spotify. I was I think here from 10/2010 with Premium (before Free) and left for Google Music in 04/2016. Google closed their app in 2021, so I tried Deezer Music.

I didn't like it, nor YouTube Music they offered, so I am now back with Spotify. 3 month trial going on.

Plan to continue. Enjoy your cake.

I am back now too after sailing on the sea searching my place to enjoy hard dance music!

Hey @vaajy 

Welcome back! I remember you! 💚

I hope you end up staying with Spotify. There have been many new features over the years. I also hope to see you rejoin the Spotify Stars Program. There have been many new things added to the program over the years, it's more fun these days.

If you need help with anything just send me a message.

Yes the first Jam was in 2014. It feels like it was just yesterday. I really miss those days!

Thanks, the cake was delicious!

I will keep it around.
Like I said when sailed on the sea of other apps, none of these remaining are really good.
The Hifi devoted app from artists is not at all interesting, french one is buggy.
Many of apps I knew discontinued from 2014.

The most valuable thing on Spotify for me is by far best algorithm to hard dance music. I tried any other app you could think of and none of these were able to deliver new music my genre all year long. The radios were boring etc. Spotify just surprises!
Spotify has been changing a lot and nowadays it feels decent. Some glitch here and there, but I can live with that. Apps are updating often and it feels like they will work on it eventually. Especially discovery of my music is nice. Thank you for app.
