As soon as Tidal or Qobuz add a couple real key functionalities that Spotify has but they don't I'm switching right over
Tidal
Wikipedia: "Tidal is now majority-owned by Block, Inc., the owner of the point-of-sale system Square."
Yo, hard pass. Corporate platforms are just enshittification waiting to happen. And Jack Dorsey can suck my balls in particular.
Qobuz
Same deal. Just a matter of time before all your music disappears because of some geoppolitical or corporate billshit
In 2021, Qobuz was made available in six more countries: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Australia and New Zealand.[25] Qobuz offered its service in six further countries in 2022: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Portugal,[26] additionally launched in Canada in 2023,[27]and launched in Japan in 2024.[28]
if it can be opened up to a country, it can be blocked just as easily.

I left Spotify with king gizz and haven’t looked back
ive litterally never used spotify... just never really got the point when youtube has all the music I want.
Its for people who used to buy their songs on iTunes. Technically a better service, but still shit. Its easy to pirate though. Reminds me of adobe software from the 2000's.

So.. I guess.. they still allow Nazis to spread their racist music there too?
I wish headlines (and journalists in general) wouldn't be so afraid about repeating words and names.
My first question was "Which streamer?", and now I'm thinking they probably just didn't want to use the name "Spotify" twice.
I've been noticing this trend over the last few years. They also seem to be using pronouns less.
Gaming journalists will write about Mario and say something like...
"Super Mario Odyssey is the newest Mario game where the red-hatted plumber takes on Bowser! The Nintendo superstar has all kinds of new abilities, and the mushroom-chomping, goomba-stomping hero even has a new friend!"
It just makes things annoying to read, imo
If you weren't boycotting them when they bought exclusivity with Joe Rogan you're part of the problem.
Already done.
