Use NextDNS and block the requests. I don't blame a company for trying to make money. I do respect that if you are paying for a service they should not embed crap like that

I use PiHole/RethinkDNS, but that's not the point. Of course a company wants to make money, that's why I pay them a monthly amount for my subscription. If it's not enough to have a successful business, then ask for more money. But don't shove spyware up on me. Tidal does not include Facebook spyware, so Tidal it is.
