I still used my cassette player

I’ve always just had to type a songname into a box and have it 10 seconds later. So Spotify gave absolutely no advantage in access to music.

The only semi-relevant new thing Spotify had was music recommendations, but I never cared about that. I’ve never had trouble finding good music organically, nor even the need to listen to new songs all the time.

So yeah, for me, it never was more convenient than what I had before and I don’t think I’ve missed anything.

Sure, let everyone fire up the translator engine instead of immediately understanding each other. Takes more effort, thus makes it harder to understand each other.

And we should really like more understanding, not less.

It really doesn’t matter what the common language is, but it makes sense to have one, and we already have English now. We can also think to change that (there is Esperanto), but there’s really no super major reason to do it, it’s not like by using English we support the US or by using Dutch we now support the Netherlands. It’s just a way of communicating, as long as we’re able to do it easily, let’s just do that.

Also, even though the UK exited the EU, it still lies in Europe. The language still originated in Europe. Ireland also uses English.
