A very good example of no ethical consumption under capitalism. It's not that you cannot make good or bad choices on the surface. It's that no matter what choice you make, it benefits some dark triad motherfucker who will make the world worse. Wanna listen to some music and feel okay paying for that? Syke! Your money just went to drone warfare research!

Not surprising to me in the least, Spotify has been consistently showing their colors and all you need to do is look how big they were in being pro-ukraine in 2022. A complete no go for me.

Feels like a news story from Cyberpunk 2077.

Glad I never paid for premium

Well now I'm doubly happy I installed spicetify and am leeching their bandwidth for free without even getting an ad.

Fancy that keyword! I will give it a go!

Damn, I have thousands of songs saved on spotify and don't want to start from scratch on another platform. Is there a way to carry over my songs? I hate paying these mfs 11.99 a month.

yeah install spicetify on your pc. for phone there's a few blockers too but it's kind of a hassle. the dev behind spotube is rewriting his app too
