    I finally was able to get my wife to cancel it a few months ago. She is using my server now and it’s been a rough transition, but we are getting there.

    Been boycotting them for 1,5 year or so. Went to Qobuz but mainly buy vinyl in recordshops or via bandcamp. Also buy a lot of digital albums during bandcamp fridays

      I don’t support giving Joe Rogan any money either but I honestly think the Spotify deal helped move him out for the spotlight. I would say his peak was a few years ago before the Spotify deal, I definitely don’t hear as much out of him now as I used to.

    Music streaming is amazing. I love it. It’s so much easier to find new music.

    That being said, best way to support the artists is to go to their shows, and buy their merch. Specifically, buy the album. There is no guarantee it will still be available for streaming forever, so best to have a physical copy and rip it to mp3 for archiving and digital use

    How dare they invest into oppression against the precious American people, don’t they know that oppression is only for brown intervention abroad?

    I stopped using even their free service when they kept giving a platform to anti-vax dipshit podcasters during covid

      I have Spotify premium. What I really loathe about them is that even on premium they insert ads into podcasts. And no it is not the podcaster promoting sponsors in their own voice. It is Spotify interrupting the podcast with commercials in my local language.

        Am I supposed to feel some sort of sympathy or something?
