I switched to TIDAL, for this, for the disgustingly low amount of revenue passed along to artists by Spotify (the entire value of their business), and for the fact that they continue to partner with Rogan after all the disinformation he peddles.
Not a huge proponent of streaming services in general, but some are objectively better than others. Spotify is atrocious. Tidal is a lot better.
I also switched to Tidal after learning about Spotify's dystopian future war AI powered killer robot plans. It's also bullshit how little they pay artists.
I wish Tidal had podcasts, but I'm happy enough with AntennaPod.
My music app not having podcasts is a bonus for me. They really should give users the option and not force it upon you.
They don't anymore.
Though I am far more concerned with Spotify's attempts to destroy what is otherwise a last bastion of internet freedom with their exclusive podcasts.
They do, but not as an exclusive. This year Spotify signed a deal with him worth 250M.
But also yeah, I can appreciate that sentiment.
Ah, last I heard the deal had just expired. Now they're paying him even more money than before? And for what reason?
At least it sounds like that Spotify exclusive bullshit is dead?
