I strongly believe that Spotify should be removed as a suggestion and added to the incumbent/boycott category due to the reasons already mentioned in the red warning box. I urge everyone to cancel their subscriptions and when you cancel they will ask why, please mention the reason you canceled is because Spotify gave billions to Joe Rogan who’s basically a lie and propaganda factory.
Spotify is a pillar of support for the Trump regime. Spotify’s CEO donated $150000 to Trump and hosted brunch for him. He also did the typical billionaire hissy fit threatening to leave Sweden unless they make tax cuts. He’s just another right-wing billionaire and not worth your support.
So far the pros are ethics, music quality, and you can buy drm free music from them if you want. Cons are they’re smaller than the other companies so their catalog isn’t as complete (they had like 85% of my Spotify music), and their app is not as feature complete and at times buggy.
You can do the free trial and they allow you to transfer your music for free, though it may take a few days to get the link. It’s through soundbiz or something.
Personally I think I’ll try them out for a bit longer, the missing music is the more niche stuff. Otherwise I’ll do more research into tidal and decide.
