We switched to TIDAL. Very similar and all the music transferred over.

Done ✅

Bye Felicia 👋

Done!

Internet radio is an alternative -- there's smartphone apps for every style. The NPR app allows access to all NPR stations, some of them specializing in pop-rock, jazz, folk, or classical. bsky.app/profile/gvgo...

Nah, fuck Spotify until they also pay artists for the content that is streamed. Artists get a few pennies per *thousands* of plays. 😡

I cancelled at the beginning of the year

I saw an ICE ad on YouTube today. It was very distressing because my wife and I get 80% of our entertainment on YouTube and I watch news broadcasting etc. on it. We don’t pay for premium but I guess they get ad revenue when we watch stuff. Any suggestions. This would be a very hard thing to loose.

Our family stopped our subscription and moved to TIDAL. Easy Peazy

You should also boycott LinkedIn who is running recruiting ads for customs and border patrol agents!

Do it! It's easy. Hi them where it hurts.... in the purse, the $$ type. ☺️

Never used spotify to begin with. Way ahead of most.

I canceled.

And no one will mention the ICE ads on YouTube! No one!

Done

I didn't realize Pandora was running them too - I went to Pandora after Spotify doubled down on platforming Joe Rogan so just canceled Pandora subscription

For what towns? Newport Oregon?

Plus you don’t have to to worry that the streaming service will one day dump something you love. If you buy it, it’s yours.

Can someone mention an alternative? I tried quboz but it doesn't stream directly to Sonos like Spotify does I have cancelled Spotify of course but I'm without a music service rn

When I went to go cancel my Hulu they literally took away the button to cancel it.

Been dragging my feet cause I’m a techno idiot. Gotta do it

I stopped using it. I've been listening to local radio and it's better I find. I didn't realize how much I missed hearing local happenings.

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!

Spotify's shoddy treatment of recording artists was reason enough to abandon it years ago. There's no good reason to stay on Spotify when very good alternatives exist. My wife and I love Tidal. You may prefer something else. Just leave Spotify.

Cancelled

Pocket casts is good

I use pocket casts for podcasts

ICE has ads on Meta platforms too, including Facebook and Instagram, yet you have accounts on both. Why is that?

🤬🤬🤬

Will share. Thanks

I’m lucky to live in Queens where the Queens Public Library is fantastic. They will mail books or DVDs to you if you don’t have transportation. Do you have thrift shops? There is a used book store near me that is clerked by adults on the autism spectrum. The most expensive book there is $4.00.

I quit them and told them why.

or cancel it for good because their ceo is pouring all the money into ai warfare?

It’s different, I have figure out how build my artist catalogue, but I’ll get there. It’s like when I switched from Facebook to Bluesky

Can't recall what for exactly, but I stopped using them some time ago because of something highly offensive and disturbing they were involved in---I think carrying a right-winger podcast after he continually used hate speech against marginalized groups.

Never have & never will use spotify!

Where can one listen to PODCASTS not music on an alternative to Spotify?
