Programmatic advertising should be forbidden on state level. It is a vector in malvertising and misinformation (and thus is a danger to democracies) and makes the user-experience worse in everything it touches.
malvertising and misinformation
You pretty much described most ads. What is the difference?
That your “most ads” are programmatic advertising.

I’ve been using bandcamp and normal music playing apps. Always hated Spotify.
it’s only gotten better. now you can run it in your browser and play local files
Plexamp is fantastic. Sweetfades and radio/mix features, which can also include songs from shared libraries, are dope as hell. One of my favorite audio players of all time. Bridges the gap between old school local library playback and modern algorithm stuff really well.
Plex is all aboard the enshittification train too.
I only use foobar2000 and soulseek
I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.
I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.
Tidal is pretty good except for the lack of podcasts. AntennaPod replaced that feature for me and made the switch easy.
Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.
How’s the music and recommendations?
For example, does it have a really niche artist I listen to?
What the fuck it does
What about recommendations? I have yet to try it though, but it has the music of an artist with less than like 600 views per track that’s crazy
And no “AI” was involved…
You guys get ads on Spotify? HahahaYarrrr
So glad I canceled my sub holy fuck.
I went back to curating my own library
Fuck these parasites… Deny them profit and engagement
