Look at Qobuz. It's French-owned, and the owner does not seem to be publicly traded. Those two should decrease the likelihood of explosive enshittification. Plus they're a small player.
I wish there could be some legal guarantee that they will not go publicly traded – otherwise it's a ticking timebomb. It would give a certain demographic of customers more confidence in the service.
No guarantee. Existing publicly traded bombs have less time left on their timers.
Depends, they might be running without any profit on VC money and hoping to be acquired but run out before they do.
