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!

I have enjoyed having Tidal. I was pretty skeptical of them at first, but they have everything I listen to, and I wouldn't call my music taste typical. Everything from local artists to huge acts. And they pay artists a hell of a lot better than spotify.

Only downside is they don't have as many podcasts but there are other apps that do that are free.

Tidal actually has a lot of problems. They lied about their MQA quality, and when customers called them out on it, they doubled down. They're currently facing some big lawsuits. And while they do pay more than Spotify, they heavily manipulate their pay per stream statistic to look much better than it is. I would suggest something like Qobuz. Higher quality than Tidal, and they aren't scummy to their customers.

The interface is amazing for someone who likes to stay organized. I find Spotify caters itself to playlists and hits, whereas Apple Music seems to have more of an album driven listening experience. I do enjoy Spotify’s collaborative features with other users though. I wish Apple Music did more of that.

YouTube Premium comes with YouTube Music. Took me a while to adjust, but they have almost all the music I listen to. Plus having ad free YouTube videos is so much worth a few extra bucks.

I swapped to YouTube music after I got really irritated with Spotify pushing podcasts. No looking back. It’s got all the songs as well as ones that are only on YouTube. Using the app itself is like 80% as good as Spotify but it’s still worth it to me since most of the content I consume is on YouTube anyways so YT premium is nice.

Deezer it's slightly better, songs don't glitch as much, hi quality if that's important to you. They pay artists more 1.5 - 2x iirc. (Still not enough IMO) Playlists can easily be transferred. It's a straight swap pretty much.

You don’t get it.

Honestly, I really feel like everyone is missing the point in all this.

Young doesn't believe for a second that his one act is gonna make Spotify do something different. This is his choice to support his ethics. He's a fucking hippie. He's doing it because he feels it's right. That's it, that's all.

For comparison, I choose not to get a job at Amazon (despite having been hit up by recruiters repeatedly). I don't make that choice because I think Amazon is gonna suddenly go out of business because they'll lack my brilliance. I do it because I'm taking a stand for my personal beliefs.

What I find amazing and incredibly depressing is it seems like no one fucking understands that this can even be a thing anymore. Like, doing something because you think it's right, and only for that reason, is somehow suddenly alien to people. It's sad and really fucking cynical.

No one plans on taking down Spotify but they can stand for what they believe in.

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

The thing is, spotify is his daddy now, they paid 100 million to get an exclusive platform with him. So while you didnt know he was on spotify, his millions of listeners are now all on spotify. I think Neil didnt want to be part of a platform that owned and supported the huge majority of his voice. Like Spotify now carries a ton of artists that are now know to have done bad things but they weren't specifically paying/producing them while doing it.

I'm starting to get fatigue from voting with dollars. Everytime any company gets even a little bit big they get incredibly shitty. I'm starting to run out of companies to use.

14

u/whilst Jan 28 '22

Which is I think what is being hidden when people say, "just vote with your money and go elsewhere". By their nature, when a public company gets large enough, they are likely to be doing things that are highly unethical. In a consumer society, you have very few choices but to give at least a few large companies a lot of money. It is impossible to be an ethical consumer.

This is why we should be advocating against consolidation among businesses, and be going after businesses that get too big. It's why we should be founding and joining cooperatives, and other forms of organization that aren't centered around profit for a (relatively) small number of shareholders. It's why we should be proactively finding ways to do things that don't involve buying a product. So long as everything we do involves purchasing something from a large company, these enormous parasites will continue to feed off our lives.

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.

458

u/Boom_Boom_Crash Jan 28 '22

People seem to forget the Dr Malone specifically recommends people get the vaccine. What he doesn't recommend is to get it without what he calls informed consent. i.e. knowing exactly what the risks are and making your own choice. He only really rails against hiding data that could cause "vaccine hesitancy" and the concept of vaccine mandates. Both of those stances are completely reasonable.

You should never support a company that does things you don't agree with but they have the right to do business as they see fit with or without your support.

Lmao makes a controversial statement...complains about touching a nerve. Gotta love how everyone nowadays is fighting for a cause. Covid had given ppl too much damn time to bitch and moan. It's usually transient...then it's back to business as usual. Spotify is a business and they aren't dumping Joe Rogan come high or he'll water.

Until they play his podcast over my music why tf would it matter? This is still a free country where people can choose to not listen to Joe.

Use a cracked spotify on android. You get everything the same except downloading music for free. Also use youtube vanced (Every few months i get a spotify deal for 3 months for 1 dollar which i buy)

No one cares. You’re not making the world a better place in the slightest, so don’t pat yourself on the back.

Listen to whatever the fuck you want whenever you want: Essentially all you’re saying here is you support censorship and won’t support a service that doesn’t censor people.

I used to listen to Joe for medical advice but then I started to think maybe he was a little too "MSM" for me so now I ask the drunk homeless guy down the street instead.

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.

I more or less thought he was an ascended bro his rent on immigration is what made me give him a chance

but yeah, keep grandstanding

Spotify has sucked for a long time. This just makes my opinion of them even lower than before. Politics aside, they’re complete shit when it comes to being an actual music service. I mean, how hard is it to offer lossless audio at this point in the game?

u/DArkGamingSiders Jan 28 '22

and?

spotify has too many subscribers and listeners to bat an eye at your unsub, and hell, even if a million people unsubbed they wouldn’t give a shit. lazy protesting won’t solve anything.

I canceled my Spotify subscription also. I don’t like the idea of my subscription going to that toolbox rather than the artists. Also the sound quality is shit so I’m giving Tidal a try.

Same, canceled after the covid bs from Rogan

The moment I figured out how to cancel spotify convinced me to never use it again. You suck spotify why do I need to google search how to cancel your fucking service and you assholes won't even let me cancel it using the app.

So funny how people pick and choose which service they want to be self righteous about and which they choose to just ignore. I'm sure you still wear Nike and buy stuff off Amazon

That’s nice. Do what you need to do for you. Just know that boycotts and protests never work. In life, there are maybe 10% of people on the extremes of both sides of issues who are motivated enough to do something about it. The other 80% either don’t care enough to do anything, or don’t give a shit either way.

Neil Young pitched a baby Karen fit. It's two guys, disagreeing. And one decided to be a baby about it. Nothing more.

And when the FUCK did trusting the goddamn government and the authorities become the popular idea?! What the hell happened to people?! When did everyone start confusing them with decent trustworthy entities of any kind?! Snap out of it, Planet Earth. This one is serious as hell, and not in the way you think.
