My wife has cancelled the Spotify family subscription over their continued hosting of Andrew Tate, and let them know why in the cancellation process.

It already felt bleak knowing your subscription was funding Joe Rogan about a million times more than your favourite artists, but it turns out they could and do go lower.

Fuck Spotify. Awful people.

There's a petition if you're into it - change.org/p/demand-spotify-re

There's only one thing Spotify care about though 🤑

@davey_cakes Your regular reminder that even bittorrent is a better deal for artists...

Föderation EN Mi 12.03.2025 10:31:08

@davey_cakes Thanks for that. I was aware of Rogan but figured "they're all as bad", but this is a bridge too far.

@Des_egan same.

Even Neil Young threw in the towel on the Rogan thing when the exclusivity deal ended, but this is fucking bleak.

Even if they get rid of Tate, at this point Spotify have told me enough times who they are as a company.

@davey_cakes Agreed. And while I know that physical media gives the best relative return for artists, I'm not going back to a Walkman and a bag full of tapes.
I'm happy to take advice from anyone on a streaming service that pays it's artists, and doesn't platform fascists and misogynist creeps.
If such a unicorn exists of course!

@Des_egan we're trying Tidal this week.
It's still VC funded but we'll see.

Focusing on things that aren't trying to be anything other than a music streaming service seems to help.

Spotify are still desperately trying to justify their ridiculous valuation.

@davey_cakes Will check them out thanks!

@davey_cakes Thsnks for the push. I canceled mine as well.

@davey_cakes our family just dropped Spotify for Qobuz, seems to be ok so far

@davey_cakes@mastodon.ie If I may ask, which service are you switching to?
