Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Well Spotify does endorse terrorist organizations (us military, ice) so I won't support them.
I'm also gonna say I don't agree. Its always corporate interest. You think google maps exists to be a nice little helper to find your way around town? Fuck no. They track your every move ,every single store you go to, then they buy data from credit card companies to get your buying habits and then start routing you directions past stores they think you will like. Or using Alexa in old folks homes to record them and then sell medications to them (this happened not long ago here on Lemmy). These are the less nefarious examples but it then leads to bots on Facebook influencing the way people vote and then bam, you have fascism and wars and people dead because of algorithms. It all leads back to it. Its dystopian as fuck and sounds insane but I am 100% right on this.
Sure, a music store won't have absolutely everything but that was just one of my options. I'm not blaming you for liking streaming and algorithms (just like 99.9% of the world now) I'm just trying to open your eyes a little on the real human cost of this type of thing. Its not a good road to go down. If you are fully aware (as you seem to be) then its not as bad, but still be careful.
