Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.
Fucking Spotify using my money to pay this nutjob really pisses me off
Vote with your wallet. Deezer is pretty good. I switched to them when Spotify decided I needed Rogan in my life despite their algorithm undoubtedly indicating otherwise.
I switched to YouTube music and have been happy with it. The family plan is about the same price as Spotify and includes YouTube premium which has been an unexpectedly nice bonus.
It’s really nice to be able to watch YouTube on your TV and not have to deal with ads
I do encourage everyone to drop all Meta platforms, but generally speaking “vote with your wallet” is ineffectual.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Edit: choosing what makes you happier is never ineffectual, but capitalism is not a democracy. You can’t “vote” out a company by choosing not to use their product, especially when that company owns many of the options or has control over the majority of the market.
How is voting with your wallet ineffectual?
There’s a confirmation bias at work here. The shitty things people didn’t pay for don’t exist.
I switched to Tidal when he first started going on with the COVID misinformation. Haven’t looked back.
Yep it’s totally unnecessary to pay anyone for streaming music.
Just obtain your own MP3s of the music you prefer, and listen to those files on your device. It’s the 2000s way to music, and it’s still the best.
Internet connectivity is not available everywhere, so you may encounter areas that streaming doesn’t work. MP3 collections don’t have that problem.
You can also get your own Plex server or something like that if you really just want to stream your music. That’s another way to have your music on hand without bullshit subscriptions.
Use xManager. All the benefits excluding downloading songs. It’s updated once in a while too
I can vouch for xmanager but it also doesn’t have carplay. At least not in my 2023 sedan. Just wanna make sure the facts are out there.
