Taxi isn't for everyone. If you are short on talent and unwilling to listen to and act on constructive feedback, then you should not join TAXI nor should you pay ANYONE to do anything for your songs, because you know, you apparently know better in the first place and don't need their help. If, on the other hand you have a reasonable amount of talent and you want to hone your skills in ways that would help you guide your talent towards being commercially viable, then TAXI is the only valid option I have seen out there to help. 99% of the people asking for money to help you in the music business are frauds. It doesn't mean they all have bad intentions, but in truth no one can ever help you if you aren't serious about taking the advice and acting on it and also working hard at your craft every day, producing new content and improving that content regularly based on feedback and indications if your stuff is even competitive. That's what TAXI is good at doing. But it means you still have to do the work and bring the talent and drive and persistence. If that doesn't apply to you, stop wasting your time dreaming about commercial success and just enjoy making music. There's nothing wrong with that. And you can always post it online or make a video to go with it and post it on Youtube. If you have a clever idea for a video, especially if it is humorous or politically relevant, you might even gain some followers/fans that way. Additionally, play out live anytime you have a chance, not to become famous, but for the joy of it.

That's the best advice my nearly 33 years of experience helping musicians can offer and I am the last person who would ever tell you to spend money on something that wasn't worth it. If you're serious, TAXI is a solid tool. But if all of the above doesn't apply to you, don't do it. Just make music and understand your ability to do so is something 98% of the world wishes they too had the talent to pull off. You can be happy and fulfilled without a hit or a fan base. Music is a gift, so be grateful you have it in you if you do.
