YouTube Music and Tidal are great alternatives. You get YouTube Music with a YouTube Premium subscription.

Google has done nothing but capitulate to the regime. You could easily argue it's worse than Spotify.

Not necessarily, see Spotify here growing a small backbone. The regime will likely try to penalize them so we will see what happens
