Spotify is a DRM-infested despicable hellhole

And one that platforms fash or fash-adjacent imbeciles

Oh boy, a whole lot. I was compiling a list, but it turns out that Spotifys shady business practices has a whole wikipedia page. Not sure if it’s included in there but Joe Rogan. Just everything about the Joe Rogan deal. As well as their ties to the military industrial complex. It’s less “what have they done?” and more “what haven’t they done?”

What music platforms would you suggest as an alternative? Apple Music can’t be that much better, can it?

Tidal is pretty popular, they at least pay artists more. There’s a couple other recommendations I’ve seen floating around on lemmy but the names are escaping me atm. I don’t think there’s any services out there with clean hands tbh, but limiting the harm from your consumption is better than doing nothing about it

Downloading mp3s and tagging them, the way grandpa intended

Destroying artist’s livelihoods, for one thing. Shady business practices, for the other.
