Spotify has been the biggest streaming service for awhile, but after a few recent controversies, it feels like everybody is leaving spotify.A lot of the info...

    I’ll tldr this without even watching the video:

    • Spotify is not paying artists enough / not paying artists at all if streams are under a certain amount; the gist is it’s industry fuckery though at play
    • Spotify CEO is funding a military company
    • Some people are fed up with music they like being removed from the platform, whether by the artist or otherwise.
    • Plus above, increased move to ownership/physical media as people realize continued monthly costs are not worth it.

      For me it’s all of these plus the ICE recruitment ads.

        …People listen to ads with their music?

          If you don’t pay for Spotify Premium, and you don’t have an ad blocker, Spotify Free is riddled with VERY LOUD AND DISRUPTIVE ADS.

            I only used Spotify briefly years ago. I had no idea you could actually block the audio ads they send you? That’s pretty cool if so.

              It’s surprisingly easy. I use uBlock Origin in Waterfox (Firefox fork). The audio ads still “play”, but silently.

        Do you hate brown people?
        Do you enjoy cosplaying like a weekend warrior? Then come down to your local ICE office and get paid by following your two passions!

        I guess… Haven’t heard it.

      Haven’t watched it either, but it’s a great list. I’d add

      • the embracing of AI slop
      • the great algorithm relentlessly pushing the same 10 tracks down my throat in a library with 10000+ songs

      Spotify has also pushed AI music more, as it means they don’t have to pay the artists.
