How are these actual Spotify subscription tiers? It honestly sounds like something from a parody. (lemmy.zip)

Meanwhile Tidal:

Fuck it, we're merging our two tiers and giving you the features of the higher one for the price of the lower.

Anyway, if you're serious about your music collection, get those bits on a disk.

    Tidal is owned by a bunch of billionaires including Kanye the Nazi and Nicki MAGA Minaj.

    Search enough and you'll discover that every company on the planet has some shady stuff in the closet.

    Best we can do is support the small, more ethical, companies and exploit to our best the others.

    One way or another, we need to live. And it is impossible, for all practical purposes, to produce everything we need to lead a well balanced and reasonable life.

    It holds a degree of validity, but like all absolutes, it leaves out everything between complete lack and total abuse.

    Its overused by people who misunderstand the point.

    No, there isn't ethical consumption under capitalism but that doesn't mean we can stop and consider the actual impact of what we choose to financially support. We can make the choice to reduce negative impact, even if we can't eliminate it.

    Sort of. I am highly skeptical of anyone who jumps to use that term when people are complaining about particularly egregious corporations/practices, but at the same time, if you denounce people for buying Harry Potter shit then I think you’re nuts.

    Hm, it's good I'd say. There isn't everything on Tidal and so I have to have some albums on my phone or bandcamp (that is true for Spotify as well). And Tidal isn't great at distinguishing artists with the same name. But I don't listen to any popular music and I'm fine. Now that Tidal knows my taste it also gives me some great recommendations. I've actually started listening to the "my daily discovery" playlists nearly every day. It updates daily and quite often there is something new and interesting in there. I've got an IDM playlist of 539 tracks. And through Tidal I've discovered jazz, a ton of vintage african music, luk thung/mor lam, and other genres I hadn't even known :)
