Gotta say I’m surprised to see Spotify adding something people actually want. It must be getting rough for them.
Fuck Spotify
Are they going to switch to a reward system that doesn’t allow botfarms to steal money from legitimate artists?
No?
That would reduces apparent user volume?
Oh noo…
99% of people are going to use Bluetooth headphones but insist they hear the difference.
This will soon no longer be a gatekeeper, with 6.1 at most 6.2 we will have the high actual available bandwidth for Hi-Res, latency will still be around but quality will finally be on par with low-mid Hi-Res.
LDAC?
You’re like 10 years late to the party pals: qobuz, deezer, tidal, …
And they still exploit artists
I think they saw that their premium users are now cancelling their subscription and moving to other streaming services, also bands like KGATLW is removing their catalogue from there, so they pulled this move. Not until Spotify start paying artists fairly, moderate the AI music bullshit, stop jacking up the prices, stops supporting the genocide against Palestine, improve their discovery algorithm and the list goes on; Spotify can go fuck itself
We left this month, wife is moving to YouTube premium as a way to ease her out of straming services and I’m building our collection of music every month through self-hosting so when she’s ready there’s a large library for her.
It’s been great buying music from artists and listening to whole albums which is not something I normally do.
Spotify doesn’t support their artists as far as I’m aware, what money they do spend on creators it’s people like Joe Rogan, and they continue to increase the price every month. I’m tired of paying for techno fascist’s next Yacht (or election) and this is just one way we’re slowly pulling away from subscriptions.
They still scam artists and support war drone manufacturers.
Im not against supporting war drone manufacturers so much as ones related to Israel.
I’d buy multiple subscriptions if the proceeds went to Ukrainian drones.
Cool, I’ll still be using Tidal, as they pay their artists the most, I believe.
According to https://www.soundguys.com/tidal-vs-qobuz-140740/ this is not the case.
Qobuz $0.022 Napster $0.02 Tidal $0.013 Apple Music $0.01 Deezer $0.0064 Spotify $0.003 - $0.005 Amazon Music $0.00402 SoundCloud $0.0025 - $0.004 Pandora $0.00133 YouTube Music $0.00069 - $0.0012 Same table aligned to cents for easier reading.
Qobuz 2.2¢ Napster 2.0¢ Tidal 1.3¢ Apple Music 1.0¢ Deezer 0.640¢ Spotify 0.300¢ - 0.500¢ Amazon Music 0.402¢ SoundCloud 0.250¢ - 0.400¢ Pandora 0.133¢ YouTube Music 0.069¢ - 0.120¢ Jesus H Christmas, that’s depressing
Oof. Top three, but at the same time, half as much as the top paying site does.
Oh, damn. Thank you, my data was outdated then. I guess I’ll have to move things to Qobuz, which was a pain last time I transferred a library.
And their CEO thinks music is a product that costs next to nothing to make so it’s okay to screw artists over for his billionaire pay check.
Fuck Spotify. Tell everybody you know to use alternatives. Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer…
Can’t wait for my new hard-drive to arrive so I can further expand my lossless music collection even more.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) I can’t hear a difference between lossless and reasonable bitrate compressed files, so…
So you can hear their ai slop music more clearly.
I’ll happily stick with my trusty MP3 player we’re through it I can play, literally anything I want
