Neil young is a real one.

He took a principled stance when he left Spotify too, after they paid hundreds of millions for Joe Rogan's podcast.
Edit: Disappointingly, it turns out he went back to Spotify after a couple of years.
I'm pretty sure his label put his stuff back on there, despite his wishes. I seen to remember a need article at the time describing his reaction as "disappointed". Not all of his stuff is back on there, but I guess the stuff he didn't have full control over is.
Personally, I don't listen to Joe Rogan, but I do listen to Neil Young. And Spotify is the way I typically listen to anything since they killed the SD Card on most mobile phones. So it hurt me, and I assume it hurts anyone who would want to listen to both and only gets the option of Joe Rogan. So I think having access to media is better, but I'm not the artist and I get taking a moral stance.

ted nugent decided to use facebook even more for the same reason
Oh, is Ted having trouble finding jailbait these days?

Good on him. I'm going to make it a point to listen to more Neil Young.

I think the aim is to get people to switch to a more ethical streaming service, if they want to stream music. Spotify isn't the only option.

I prefer „corporate social media“ or „legacy social media“ as a differentiator from the Fediverse. If anything in the Fediverse ever becomes truly mainstream, that’s completely fine

Honestly, good on him.
More people should do the same.
I quit 10yrs ago. I am almost 70. If this old fart can do it. So can you.

If you're into self hosting (or have a friend who is), I've found Navidrome (music hosting) and Substeamer app to be great open source alternatives.

I tried tidal about two years ago and they had even less of what I listen to than Spotify. But maybe I should check in again and see what's different, because nothing stays the same for long.

Substreamer appears to be free but not open source

Didn't have to look far for that heart of gold, seems he already had it.

Yeah check again. It's pretty comprehensive now and it has not yet been littered with AI songs.
Only issue I have is sometimes songs in my Playlist will no longer be licensed with them and can't play anymore which is frustrating but rare.
Aufio quality is better than Spotify. -

I have noticed people have changed the way they type since around 2016, when trump became president. The amount of people putting "Sad." Behind a sentence is mindblowing. He gave so many people severe brainworms.
