I don't know why anyone would give Spotify money when they pay Joe Rogan to spread vaccine disinformation and union bust.
I use YouTube music. It's far inferior to what Google Play Music was, which was literally perfect, but it's not Spotify and I really think it does mixes best of all. Apple Music is so very Caucasian, I gave it a shot but it just comes back to the whitest music possible every time.
This is probably the first time I've seen anyone argue that paying Google is the more ethical choice. Fuck that company with all of my heart, I literally pay for both email and search just to use their services as little as possible, and will be caught dead before I start paying for YouTube.
I guess it's one devil or the other. I just can't pay for deliberate disinformation is my belief on the subject.
What ethical option is there? I don't know.
Using Last.fm for recommendations and buying the albums from bancamp (yes, I'm aware of the recent news about bandcamp, I'm very worried but depending on what happens a new platform may emerge like bandcamp, who knows) or just... pirating it
What are the recent news about bandcamp?
This, so much this
