#Boycott Spotify

Why I stopped using Spotify & switched to @qobuz You can use code 'A9F4A7C1' for your first 2 months free, all my playlists will be on there now! (Just to clarify - I was not paid by Qobuz or to make this video) #spotify #qobuz #streaming #boycott #capitalism

Spotify Alternatives - Part 1! Featuring - Qobuz - Soundiiz - Resonate I cover Tidal but don’t recommend them. Qobuz is owned by Xandrie SA, which is owned by the Thébaud Group, which in turn is owned by Nabuboto. All of these companies are French and privately held. #spotify #spotifyalternative #spotifypremium #musicstreaming #musicstreamer #musicplatform #supportmusicians #supportartists #tidalmusic

ethical consumption is almost impossible under capitalism, but that doesn’t mean we do nothing. it means we start somewhere, with one choice that shifts the pattern. if you want to explore alternatives, you can download @nothanks_app or @boycatapp they make it easier to see where your money is going and how to redirect it. switch to: • soundcloud – fan-powered royalties for indie artists • bandcamp – 85–100% of revenue goes directly to artists • qobuz – hi-res audio and fair pay • anghami – supports mena artists and regional hits • audiomack – free uploads, hip-hop and afrobeats friendly your playlists don’t have to disappear. you can move them to platforms that actually value artists and don’t feed into harmful systems. this isn’t about purity. it’s about choosing differently when we know better. every shift counts. 🤍also follow @bdsinindia @bds.movement @indians_with_palestine 🇵🇸 my necklace: @zay.tun._ sources mixmag – spotify donated $150,000 to trump’s inauguration pr newswire - riverside partnership with spotify

Let’s Unwrap Spotify 🎁 Big Music streaming services aren’t music companies, they’re tech giants built on data, extraction and exploitation. And while Spotify rightly deserves criticism, it isn’t uniquely worse than its competitors (Amazon, Apple, YouTube Music) when it comes to how little most artists earn. The recent wave of Spotify cancellations comes after Spotify’s founder invested heavily in companies developing military AI drone technology. I’ve used @Ethical_Consumer_Magazine’s guide which suggests avoiding Amazon, Spotify and YouTube Music, and recommends the following ethical alternatives:
 @SubvertWorld
 @Even.Biz
 @NinaProtocol
 @PrestoMusicCom
 @Qobuz
  and Bandcamp (although I should flag that their recent corporate acquisitions are concerning, as many Black, trans and non-binary employees were reportedly laid off). Sources:

El qué es claro: Un movimiento cultural contra Israel ha puesto a Spotify en el ojo del huracán. Su CEO invirtió en tecnología militar, provocando que músicos icónicos como Björk, Paramore y King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard retiren su música. ¿Y tú, de qué lado estás? ¿Crees que la presión de los artistas internacionales forzará un cambio en la plataforma? #boicotaspotify #nomusicforgenocide #palestina #palestinalibreً #spotify🎧 #SionismoEsTerrorismo #SionismoGenocida #Sionismo

This isn’t a Spotify problem. It’s a control problem. A pirate activist group archived Spotify’s internal music library. Not users. Not playlists. The product itself. If discovery, distribution, and validation live on one platform this kind of leak doesn’t just cause panic it changes the rules. . . #music #spotify

im sorry im not using apple music or deezer either #spotify #wlw
