Wildly disrespectful to any artist that ever lived. I’m all up for sharing alternatives that are good/better towards actual artists. Still evaluating my choices, but meanwhile this seems like the only and rather easy signal the streaming community can give as to spread the word if they agree (next to stopping your own subscription).

Spotify has always been the music streaming service for people who love music but hold disdain for artists.
It is a streaming service, but seeing as (first) it lets podcasts and music intermingle and (most recently) says it doesn’t mind slop, I have a hard time imagining people who actually like music subscribing.
Its a scam
