I refuse to believe this

I get the joke but tbh this comes across as boomer humor

Quitting Spotify for me was like cigarettes lol

I need to be so for real right now. Nothing beats Spotify in terms of speed, catalogue, and features. But every other service blows them out of the water because Spotify is just that bad with AI and artist abuse. I still use Spotify for searching for songs because its search is still bar none so far, but I don’t listen to tracks or have premium anymore

The closest alternative is Tidal, it’s fast and has third party integration that leaves much to be desired but it’s there. Still janky but closest you can get to Spotify or Apple Music and it’s a good service on its own.

If you like music discovery and good taste and hate AI, Qobuz is pretty great. But it’s not a replacement, Qobuz is new, slow, and lacks features. I can’t block artists in Qobuz yet so I don’t do a lot of listening there. If that feature is in and they make it faster I’d use it full time

Honestly, the entire way we use the web has regressed a bit and I had to mourn it honestly cause through and through the internet sucks now. But smaller web has charm that I’ve missed, only constant in life is change or w/e

Worth mentioning apparently the CEO did reduce his salary, but like, I’m not convinced? Just cause you dropped the bag doesn’t mean you didn’t rob the bank

(But also just being a bitch about the rich is cathartic)

If they need to do layoffs, start at the top

Fake and straight

Great artists steal

Hey now, some girls can compare herses for proof

Maybe it’ll help, maybe it won’t. But I think about this Reddit post a lot grief comes in waves

Can we not use twink as an insult here? A) he’s not, B) this is basically just a slur like this.

Like, that’s quite literally just calling someone gay à la old school homophobia

I feel like an adult, but I feel like very few others actually are

So 2020 is literally an outlier because as another commenter pointed out it was illegal for people to meet in person in much of the world during 2020 and onwards through the pandemic. But that only lasted a few years, ending it there is almost dishonest (not attacking OP just whoever made the graph). It wouldn’t rebound all the way back up but this is showing something entirely unrelated to the core premise

This graph ending in 2020 is such a poor data set, you’re literally ending in an outlier

Good news, it’s not that rare that that would make a difference. There’s plenty of it, just need different extraction techniques to further up the supply (unfortunately, that’s fracking lately iirc)

…is it really though

Starjunk 95, thank me later

*22.3% of Americans. Not trying to be pedantic but overestimating the number of fascist supporters emboldens them. Most Americans did not choose this, voter suppression, potential manipulation, and regulatory/political capture did and that’s where the work is needed
