Snoop is a trump supporter. Fuck that cunt.

Exactly, he and T***p should crip walk off a cliff.

I've got all his shit on soulseek, come get a copy

This is just a marketing stunt.

Literally the first lines in the article mentions he ditched Spotify in favor of some bullshit "blockchain-powered competitor Tune.fm", whatever the fuck that means.

Calling something “blockchain-powered” is a great way to demonstrate that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

He's a sell out in general these days.

…which I could tolerate, because he didn’t seem to be taking himself seriously, but performing at Trump’s inauguration was just WAY too much.

In a way I can understand it. Somebody else would have if not for he. But I couldn’t say that I would do the same.

US ditches Snoop Dog after performance at pre-inaugural “crypto ball”.

everyone needs to ditch spotify, artists and listeners

[–] assembly 11 points 14 hours ago

As an artist on the streaming platforms, I don’t just distribute music to one, it gets sent out to all. I put the most effort into growing my Apple and Amazon music streams as they actually pay. Spotify gives me by far the most streams but they don’t pay shit so I just don’t put much effort into that. YouTube seems to pay pretty well for music streaming, even got some royalties from TikTok even though I didn’t realize I was on there. I heard Tidal and Deezer pay well but I don’t have listeners there so not much I can do with that.

I'll give you an actual answer as opposed to just going with another exploitative megacorp.

Buy their shit on Bandcamp or wherever full albums are sold. Use Plex or jellyfin to stream to your phone.

I’ve tried them all at some point from a hifi perspective. To me tidal is the one I keep going back to as the quality is great, music selection is superb, and discovery is good. I slightly prefer qobuz sound quality, but their new music discovery algorithms are sadly subpar. If you don’t care about finding new music outside the mainstream, buying directly from artists website is still best.

Tidal is what I like. Better sound quality.

Deezer is pretty good. https://www.deezer.com

I've been using it for years now and haven't come up empty on anything I've searched for. Their algo is good and doesn't push bullshit.
