Missing out the big one here - Spotify is also European fyi.
Why don't we include nestle then?
Just because it is European, doesn't mean the company is worth a shit dripping down a wall.
Spotify is a shit company. Pays artists by far the lowest in the industry (especially if you take into account their scummy minimums, catches, and terms for smaller musicians), injects shitty AI songs into Spotify-made playlists so they won't have to pay the artists the little they do, gives "donations" to fascists, and heavily invests in fucking war companies including partnering one who is essentially trying to make "the dark night" tracking machine to pair with AI assassination drones.
(Also side note, have you noticed all of these scummy surveillance companies making their names into very well-known references to pop culture so that all news stories on them are essentially lost to the pop culture void when searching for them? Palantir, helsing, etc...)
I told OP this in previous post; Spotify gave money to Trumps' inauguration. That's why it was removed.
Shameless plug for Navidrome
Want your music, always available. No ads, no enshitification. Maximum quality, always reliable?
There is only one clear winner for me.
Interesting service! Good if you own a library of music.
"Own"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We learn and iterate. Thanks for the feedback! We still list Spotify in the database but plan to include quality factors in the (probably not so near) future as well to better differentiate between "European address" and "European commitment".
What the heck is "European commitment"?
Production in EU, Production in Europe, Production outside Europe could be factors for example and is what I referred to as "European commitment" prior. "European address" would be minimum presence in Europe but formally incorporated there.
That’s a fair point.
but also platforms right wingers that had an impact on influencing our election. i get i shouldn't be the one guiding boycotts of my own nation's products, i'm just saying spotify has been antihelpful when it comes to the creation of this situation
Yeah I can totally understand that especially in relation to Rogan etc.
