There are plenty of controversies surrounding Spotify, but what really made me cancel my subscription was the fact that they ran recruitment ads for ICE. Boycott Spotify!

You can absolutely boycott them, unless you define boycott as being exposed, and not used.

I heard someone's phone play some music in passing in public yesterday. It might very well have been played using Spotify, which would mean that I "used" Spotify. This I, of course, disagree with.

    Yeah, but if you are using a site or service that relies on AWS or Google Cloud, then you are indirectly supporting them, as with more users the service will pay more to the providers.

    But any amount of boycott is a great start and perhaps people and businesses will choose different hosting providers with awareness raised!
