In the grand scheme of the media industry, they are. Moreover, Floatplane is a separate entity with < 50k users.
I don't use Spotify, but yes, I pay for YouTube premium (which comes with YouTube Music, which I use instead of Spotify). I use YouTube a lot. $13.99 is not that much money for so much video and music content.
And I'm not saying don't pirate anything ever. But come on, when people build a platform to try and do things right, to ethically support their creators, we ought to support those platforms.
