There are plenty of controversies surrounding Spotify, but what really made me cancel my subscription was the fact that they ran recruitment ads for ICE. Boycott Spotify!

When I deleted the few big tech accounts I had, I answered those questions, when asked, saying that I loved the service and that I would probably go back to them. If we all did that, we would leave them very confused and less likely to make mitigation strategies lol
I always select other and type in a minus sign or something. I am not doing unpaid labor of highlighting what’s wrong with YOUR publicly traded for-profit corporation to help YOU earn more money by screwing us over. It’s just not fair to help out a corporation for free that would never help out you for free, and would actually do all the agressive capitalist tactics in the book to extract more from you.
And that’s if any of them even care to read this feedback, since they only care about shareholders’ feedback nowadays, not UX. Otherwise we wouldn’t have enshittification.
I am still happy to help out for free if it’s a non-profit or privately owned company, and/or helpful, or a FOSS project. They deserve that stuff.
I was considering writing something similar. Along the lines of, “I love your service but I can’t in good conscience continue to give money to a company y that partners with such morally bankrupt organizations.”
