I've been meaning to distance myself from Spotify for a while now but I've got a lot on my plate and their service has been very convenient. I've been paying for no ads since 2014 so I haven't heard the ads personally but have seen multiple sources online describe them and confirm they they haven't stopped as of today. I cancelled immediately. Not sure how many Spotify users there are on Lemmy but I just thought y'all ought to know what they're up to. Spotify let's you write a message saying why you're cancelling and I was very descriptive. Hopefully they'll back down just like Disney with Jimmy Kimmel.

I switched to Deezer a few months ago. It is also European, but is not unethical as far as I've been able to find. Sadly, almost nobody uploads their podcasts on there though.
