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!

There was someone who was sharing alternative options for the usual, does anyone know where they went, or which sub they post to? I was too unfamiliar with Lemmy to make note of it. I wish you could follow people.
I don’t know, sorry. But here is a list of alternatives:
TL;DR:
Apple MusicAmazon MusicYoutube MusicDeezer played ICE recruitment ads too. So did Pandora.Do you have a source for Deezer running ICE ads? I couldn’t find anything with a quick search.
I read an article last year claiming Deezer was playing the ads, but I cannot find it, in fact all I am finding is evidence of the opposite. Thanks for asking about it. I will retract my claim.
what about Bandcamp?
And Apple, Amazon, Google all paid money to Trump’s inauguration fund. Boycotting is tiring, but I still try.
Good point. I didn’t think to look into the alternatives I just found a site and listed them to help. I’ll cross off those three. Thanks!
Thanks! I use qobuz and have since the ai drone weaponry investing thing. There’s so many other things too. I miss those neat info graphics with bad guys / alternatives for everything.
I really want to replace youtube next or at least figure out a fluid way to stream without adds. My grandson uses it and without it to calm him, here and there he can get a bit destructive / distressed.
I rarely visit Youtube, but when I do I browse via Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension and I never see ads. You could try that for him.
Not necessarily a “streaming” service. But Subvert.fm is artist owned and operated. You can stream from the site/web app, you own what you buy from them, and the lions share of sales goes directly to the artist.
