I thought the headline was mocking Shopify, not Spotify. It shows how little creativity we have in tech company naming.

I wonder which suffix is more popular, -ify, -ly, or -r.

I stopped paying for Spotify years ago and instead make playlists on there that I can feed into any of the various websites that will rip mp3s for you. Yes they are 128kbps, but for casual listening, it's fine. Some tools will try to match against YouTube and download audio from there, since apparently in some cases YouTube will have higher audio quality.

Unfortunately the free version of the Spotify iOS app is absolute unusable garbage.

Where do you get the highest quality audio if you want to put in some work? I'd like to jump ship back to a personal library but don't know how I'm gonna extract these 2000 songs I only have 1/4 of locally

I stoped using Spotify when they committed the unforgivable UI sin of "loading a page and then moving elements on that page when web calls complete" that resulted in me clicking on something other than what I had intended to because it changed with my thumb a nanometer from the screen. It was a good 20% of the time and it made me insane.

I feel like -r is an old school internet thing. I wonder if anybody has data for trends over time.
