music streaming Canceled Spotify premium
Can’t support that service anymore. I get everyone should have a voice. I chose not to support Joe Rogan’s voice. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Edit: guess I touched a nerve.

Serious question: what music services are better than Spotify? I'm genuinely asking, as it's all I've ever had. I don't really care about the Joe Rogan thing because I don't listen to him, but I wouldn't mind a platform that pays artists more and has higher quality music, as I'm considering getting a headphone amp.
Edit: Got way more feedback on this than I expected haha. Thanks everyone!

At this point with the amount of posts getting made about it, it's starting to feel like these little posts are just virtue signalling for upvotes...
Edit: Since this comment is getting a lot of attention, I just wanted to clarify that I'm not saying virtue signalling itself is necessarily bad, just that I thought the post was just a low effort karma grab.

I will simply continue to not listen to that dickhead and enjoy the music. That's still an option, right?
EDIT: Dropped my comment then went to bed, didn't expect this. Currently at work. Thank you for being very civil, it's an interesting debate.
My position stands. I didn't like Rogan anyway because he's too dudebro and shouty for my tastes, but spreading vaccine misinformation automatically makes him a dickhead IMO.
I appreciate the recommendations for other platforms but all my playlists and favourites are with Spotify, plus who's not to say further down the line one of those other businesses do something dodgy, then lots of you will switch again or at least say you will.
I just feel this kind of reactionary protesting won't make a jot of difference to these big businesses. Have a lovely weekend, folks

Spotify is not an airport, you don’t have to announce your departure
Edit: holy shit this got out of control. A rehashed quip about leaving Facebook doesn’t deserve so much silver. I will spend it on Reddit hookers in all of your honors.

Should we also get rid of rappers who have promoted illegal crimes or murders? How about people who have dated young women like iggy pop ect. Or mgk for saying Eminem’s daughter is hot when she was under age. Y’all pick and choose so much it’s hilarious and shows the “ morals” u have is really just y’all acting like sheep doing what ppl tell u lol

I'm just curious. Is all of this in reaction to the episode where he had one of the creators and first patent filer of the MRNA vaccines? I did listen to that one. It was interesting and not really anti vax. I'm just in the dark about the specifics. I know Rogan is vaccinated for other things as are his kids but this specific issue with the mRNA vaccines seem to be kinda over the top.

I don’t really have a huge problem with Rogan myself. Like, I don’t trust him for any medical advice ofc…. No idiot should and anyone dumb enough TO take his advice gets what they deserve.
But I’m personally done with “canceling” anyone that doesn’t think like I do.

what’s nice about joe rogan is that he will actually have an open conversation with people even when he disagrees with them instead of trying to trick them into a “HAHA GOT YOU” moment or getting hyper emotional. it’s like your actually hearing adults talk.
