Why do people use Spotify still? Momentum?

Edited for clarity, I'm not saying music streaming I'm specifically referring to getting it from one company.

Whose CEO heavily invests in military AI

And pays artists' (and of course labels) the least out of their competitors?

If you have an eclectic music taste and don't spend your life next to a computer, there's practically no other option

[-] rockhandle@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] rockhandle@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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
