There are plenty of controversies surrounding Spotify, but what really made me cancel my subscription was the fact that they ran recruitment ads for ICE. Boycott Spotify!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You can pretend that I'm intentionally avoiding something and not wanting to self assess, but I think you just failed to make your point.
Peak.
You have barely even tried to make a point. You just said "Ugh, you guys, ending your spotify subscriptions?! You know nothing!" And then pretended you had something to say.
Well, what is it?
Look around, people are announcing boycotts of a service they've never used and seeking applause for leaving years ago for unrelated reasons. Apparently “I've never had Spotify” is a political achievement now.
Performance. It didnt need subtitles.
Your name really doesn't fit your ability to explain your position.
Literally nobody needs this explained, asking for more information here is an excuse to avoid self-reflection.
Bro, more than one person has asked. Clearly your explanation has some major problems that multiple people are having trouble understanding what even was your main point.
More than one person shying away from taking a look at their behaviour?
Thats never happened before.
In this case, there is one person doing that, you.
Genius move, nobody's ever tried this before, I can't believe how owned i am.
Keep droolin Steve.
I'm trying to make you take your own advice. Clearly, you've proven to be unable to do that. The lack of self-awareness is really stunning here.
Yeah I know, what you didnt anticipate is that that was very obviously a lazy and trite attempt to redirect, reinforcing my initial statement.
The lack of self awareness truly is stunning.
You do realise looking back at your behaviour should happen regardless of whether you are in the wrong or not, right? That's how you see if you unknowingly made a mistake or not.
Now, the fact that you immediately replied so defensively instead of looking back at your behaviour clearly shows you had no ability to do so in the first place. Thanks for proving my point, I guess?
Again. 'No u' cant save you once you leave school.
Yes, I am self-aware. I stand by all my points whole heartedly. This thread is full of pick me's.
If thats all you have, perhaps school was your peak.
You stand by the point that nobody understood? Literally, nobody here was arguing against your point, because we all couldn't understand it in the first place.
Did you already forget that you've already proven my point by immediately replying without trying to look back even a little? If what I did was weak, what does that say about you?
Not to mention that you actually used a more blatant "no u" as part of your argument before. Now you're just insulting yourself, for some reason.
As said, and stood by, it was understood.
You've made one comment that explained your position. Clearly, you agreed it wasn't understood well when you decided to explain it. That doesn't seem like you stood by your position at all.
Does that prove that or are you just clutching at straws at this point.
Why would you explain it if you stood by your position that everyone understood your point from the start? That doesn't make sense.
You asked, repearedly, and I indulged you. Explaining something again doesn't mean I accept that it was unclear the first time, much less that I've changed my opinion. Why do you think it would?
Er no, you never explained to me. I had to re-read the thread and find your explaination to someone else. All you've said to me is that you stand by your stance that everyone in here understood your points. Why are you openly lying about this?
This is what you said before.
Doesn't sound like you think explaining it when it was clear the first time makes any kind of sense.
Not really paying attention to names. Whether or not it makes sense, why do you think that precludes me from indulging you or anyone else after repeated questioning?
I believe that's your problem, not anyone else's and certainly not a valid excuse.
Because that's what you keep saying like in the quote I gave you, your insistence that you wholeheartedly stand by your original stance, and your decision to immediately be defensive when asked to look back on how vague your original comment was.
You are so mad lmfao.
Its an explanation of why I answered in a way that confused you. You being confused is the problem, i solved it.
You're just restating the assertion here, you realise that right?
Talk a walk outside, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth, smile at a stranger.
You'll feel better.
