I'm always surprised that Deezer is still around. Who on earth is still using it?

Also, fuck iHeartRadio. Not for their royalties, but for buying up tons of local stations and stripping them of anything that made them even remotely worth listening to. Fuckers bought the only station in town that played any amounts of metal and turned it into yet another top 10s station

My friends and me in the family plan switched from Spotify to Tidal, but due to lack of japanese songs + vocaloid, we have hopped on Deezer instead.

I use Deezer. After Spotify started subsidizing Rogan, it was the only service that had a reasonably Spotify-like UI. Apple Music was absolutely horrible, especially for someone who already has a local library.

I used Deezer up until last month, seemed fine to me

I liked Deezer until it's redesign a few years ago. Now the design language is so ugly I could never consider paying for it. Their biggest flaw for me though is that some albums are just randomly not available in lossless and the only alternative is mp3 which I refuse to use in 2025. Some lossy codecs are great so why do Deezer and Qobuz still mess around with mp3?
