They are. Wittier and rather more nuanced
I would say you’re missing a treat, but you may have the sort of friends who recommend you new artists that you like. Me, I have to rely on Tidal 
TBH I listen to little music these days, and usually only when I’m driving.
If you don’t mind the somewhat questionable legality, probably the cheapest way is going via a “shared subscription” service like https://coosub.com/
They have it for just under €2,50 per month (12 month subscription, paid upfront)
