Meanwhile Tidal:
Fuck it, we're merging our two tiers and giving you the features of the higher one for the price of the lower.
Anyway, if you're serious about your music collection, get those bits on a disk.

MODERATORS
Tidal is owned by a bunch of billionaires including Kanye the Nazi and Nicki MAGA Minaj.
Search enough and you'll discover that every company on the planet has some shady stuff in the closet.
Best we can do is support the small, more ethical, companies and exploit to our best the others.
I think it gets overused, but the phrase “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” usually holds true.
One way or another, we need to live. And it is impossible, for all practical purposes, to produce everything we need to lead a well balanced and reasonable life.
It holds a degree of validity, but like all absolutes, it leaves out everything between complete lack and total abuse.
Its overused by people who misunderstand the point.
No, there isn't ethical consumption under capitalism but that doesn't mean we can stop and consider the actual impact of what we choose to financially support. We can make the choice to reduce negative impact, even if we can't eliminate it.
Sort of. I am highly skeptical of anyone who jumps to use that term when people are complaining about particularly egregious corporations/practices, but at the same time, if you denounce people for buying Harry Potter shit then I think you’re nuts.
How is tindal for electronic music that is not popular dance/edm
Hm, it's good I'd say. There isn't everything on Tidal and so I have to have some albums on my phone or bandcamp (that is true for Spotify as well). And Tidal isn't great at distinguishing artists with the same name. But I don't listen to any popular music and I'm fine. Now that Tidal knows my taste it also gives me some great recommendations. I've actually started listening to the "my daily discovery" playlists nearly every day. It updates daily and quite often there is something new and interesting in there. I've got an IDM playlist of 539 tracks. And through Tidal I've discovered jazz, a ton of vintage african music, luk thung/mor lam, and other genres I hadn't even known :)
Have you tried downloading music from it? It download in tiff ?
In-app downloads are encrypted, but with https://github.com/nathom/streamrip you can rip FLACs (requires a premium account)
Why did I initially read this as Premium Pentium? lol
Premium Pentium is the tier above Basic Celeron
I want the Centrino Nano Duo
It's all about the Pentiums baby
With my mind on my pentiums, and my pentiums on my mind.
You all wanna be hackers, code crackers, slackers?
I read "premium premium" which is both spiritually similar and also just fucking hilarious.
It's only a matter of time before they start charging monthly for accurate division.
Pentium Gold
Of the 8 plans, 5 are premium level 🤦♂️
I hadn’t even noticed Basic Platinum before I posted. That one is such an oxymoron that it went full-moron.
Basic latinum has such strong ferengi energy
That's a lot of yamok sauce...
I just traded all my yamok sauce for self stealing stem bolts

Kinda reminds me of George Carlin on the illusion of choice.
“18 delicious flavours of rice-a-rony”
“Premium Lite”
lol
I would recommend you to leave this unethical platform anyway.
Is there an ethical music platform?
Buying from bandcamp or directly from the artist if possible
Is everything premium? If everything is premium, then nothing is premium.
Premium Premium is all that's missing
Premium Premium plus lite
I refuse to pay for spotify and quietly judge anyone who does.
I loudly judge those who do
OH NO YOU DON'T.
WHAT?!
Still not as bad as microsoft naming sense
Curious as to which country this is, because under US they only have individual, student, duo, and family. Methinks this screenshot is satire lol.
I thought it was satire too. But nope.... Looks like in some countries they really have these different tiers.
Charging more for lossless is such a rip off when many other platforms like deezer include it with their regular plan.
Premium lite
Basic platinum
I prefer Nicotine+
It's not like that for me, but I assume it's because of my different region.
I only have
- premium individual
- premium student
- duo plan
- family plan
Wish I canceled earlier. The earliest time is whenever before the price hike. The second earliest was when they hiked the price up.
But now I am free. And if I really want to stream anything I'll just pirate YouTube music. There are still a lot of anime style music and covers that are only on YouTube.
In my country we boycott the Spotify because they removed all the revolutionist songs of grup yorum. So u imagine how bastard they are!
Well, these aren't real in my country. We have Individual, Student, Duo and Family
Just use OuterTune on mobile and YT Music with uBlock Origin on the web. And if you want to have it locally, then use yt-dlp.
It's confusing on purpose so you give up before finding the one with no ads and just pick the fifth one down the list
