I feel like a version of this guide gets reposted weekly, but it's always out of date.

u/theFallenWalnut over on that other site updates these regularly.

They also now link to !purchasewithpurpose@lemmy.world but I don't see anything posted there. Maybe a better place to start reposting these

Is there a specific reason why Spotify is not suggested as an alternative to YouTube Music and Apple Music?
To my knowledge they are a Swedish company.

I imagine the us political environment enforces such behavior to maintain a market position in the future.

I don't see it as a political statement but rather as a symptom of the political environment.

In EU you don't need to bribe politicians to do business
