Even as an American software engineer, Iโ€™ve been working hard to ween myself off as much American software and services as possible. Iโ€™m currently using Deezer for a music streaming service. I initially thought their music discovery features were fantastic but starting to realize the mixes and flow pretty much just play the same set of songs in a different order most of the time. The app Iโ€™ve loved most for their pay scale to artists and audio quality is tidal but we would consider that American big tech, right? Do I sacrifice the rule when it comes to supporting the arts? I would love opinions.

He has also invested a 100 million EUR into a military AI back in 2021.

Yes but they pay artists the worst out of all streaming services on a per song basis

Isn't spotify subsidising one of the biggest propaganda spreader in the English speaking world? Joe Rogan ruined so many of my of my work colleagues, they can only talk about the most evil of things and the most brain rotted conspiracies
