Wasn't using it, but I had it installed.
Key word: had. I just uninstalled. Fuck fascists and anyone who supports them.

I know Apple Music isn’t much better, but I think I can convince some of my Spotify friends to make the switch with this article. I could also be convinced to switch to Tidal. I think they pay more royalties per stream than Apple Music, and Apple Music pays more than Spotify (correct me if I’m wrong).
Again, I know Apple Music probably also has issues, but Apple doesn’t seem to be in the business of selling your data… yet. They also have less bloat (e.g. no AI DJ) compared to Spotify. However, I’m not happy about Tim Cook sucking up to Trump.
Jellyfin, and similar makes a lot of sense for movies, but imo, music is released too frequently to maintain an up to date library. I do buy physical copies of my favorite albums, but streaming is really nice for music discovery.
boycott is for weaks, go damage them, filter ads out to cut their profits and still use to drain their servers.
@technocrit Have never used Spotify because it does not treat artists fairly. ICE advertising is disgusting. Please reconsider your subscription if you care about such things.
Users still using Spotify lol.
I quited Spotify and I don't get these kind of ads.
Fucking propaganda as if it was pre WW2 again…
People still using Spotify?
The tough part is that my parents are on my Spotify family plan and not tech savvy at all to use anything that I would self host. I know I can patch Spotify app and self host content on my PC but there's no way they could troubleshoot anything if something broke. For them Spotify works and me not using my own Spotify account isn't going to accomplish anything even if I disagree with the companies decisions. I like Spotify and would like to keep using it because I have found lots of new music through it but it's a tough spot. Companies take advantage of users that don't know how to do anything else.
