cancelled my #spotify subscription. Anyone got some less unethical alternative streaming services for me to turn to? I feel like music streaming is pretty inherently unethical but I do find it convenient.

Right now I'm torn between #deezer and #tidal. I don't care about lossless audio, nor discovery algorithms, just something I can use to listen to albums I don't own.

Another good reason to avoid Spotify

Spotify have (after 2 years) removed some of the Andrew 'pee-pee" Tate courses but have left his other, equally misogynistic, content untouched

I deleted my Spotify account years ago but adding this to the Joe Rogan problem, makes Spotify a danger to all women and impressionable young men by enabling and promoting dangerous messaging

404 Media · 'Pretty Vile:' Spotify Removes Andrew Tate 'Pimping Hoes' Class After Employees ComplainInternal Spotify communications viewed by 404 Media show Spotify’s own employees complaining about Andrew Tate’s course being available on the platform.

I see some people are coming to their senses over Spotify's hosting of Andrew Tate.

But I am moved to wonder why they were happily using the music-stealing app before when, from their inception, they operated on the basis of robbing musicians blind for their own personal gain.

If only people hated that as much as they should also hate Andrew Tate.

Spotify stinks. IT ALWAYS HAS.

As many of us move away from #Spotify it brings up the question of podcast listening for me. Last time I looked, Apple was terrible. And #privacy is a factor I’m considering. (Something important for everyday people, not because there is anything to hide.)
Do you like the #podcast app you are using?

Spotify is trumpeting big paydays for artists – but only a tiny fraction of them are actually thriving | Music | The Guardian theguardian.com/music/2025/mar

Spotify is for musicians what parasites are to their hosts.

'Spotify has asserted that 2024 was “another record year” for songwriters, with $4.5bn paid to music publishers (who distribute royalty payments to songwriters) over the past two years. But given Spotify has been accused in the US, by the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC), of trying to reduce its payments to songwriters by reclassifying its premium subscriptions as “bundles” as they contain access to audiobooks, this claim will not be warmly welcomed by everyone.'

Alan Greenspan once said—on the record—that 'worker insecurity' is a must for the capitalist system to work.

Daniel Ek earns 2.5 billion times the salary of the average UK musician.

Daniel Ek invests many millions in a company that uses AI to murder people.

Fuck Spotify.
