If you have an eclectic music taste and don't spend your life next to a computer, there's practically no other option
Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Funkwhale, Apple Music, Youtube Music, just to name a few. Spotify has no shortage of competition.
My point is there’s little actual difference between them. Identical services provided by greedy corporations with shitty track records
You said there's no other option, I just listed some options. Also Funkwhale is decentralised, there's no corporation backing it. Ofc, you can also just download the music you like.
😂 practically no other option, my friend. Haven't heard of Funkwhale though, sounds interesting. And no, as I mentioned in my first comment, downloading isn't feasible for people with eclectic tastes cuz I just can't keep up with my spontaneous "need" to listen to that one album that hasn't even crossed my mind in 20 years
Apple music, Tidal, etc.
Spotify is funding military AI tech. That's enough for me. I'm on android but I'd still rather use Apple Music, plus they pay artists slightly more, and tidal pays more than them.
I hate to tell you but everyone is funding scary military tech, even if you’re not an American tax payer. If you’ve flown on a Boeing plane, used Microsoft software, worn Oakley sunglasses… all that revenue goes to companies who do or support that research
I wouldn't pay a recurring fee to any of them either.
I mean I just named some of them, my point is you can’t avoid funding the military unless you live under a rock. Such is the military industrial complex
