Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
BURN@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’m not going to deal with a seed box and a ton of pain in the ass steps in between to listen to music. I’d rather pay Spotify or Amazon or Google or any of the other providers because of the convenience factor.
Also owning music isn’t something I particularly care about. Games, maybe, but music is so broad that I’ll just listen to something else.
WTF is a seedbox?
I have no trouble listening to unlimited music, it’s literally everywhere.
Plus it’s not just about owning the album (although I absolutely insist on listening on whichever device I choose). It’s also about paying the artist.
Sp0tify pays peanuts. When I buy the album from the band’s site or bandcamp they get a hell of a lot more money from me. And I want to support them.
You cannot support any artist through Spotify.
How I have to torrent cause my isp will cancel service over it.
If you’re pirating you’re not paying the artist at all. Spotify is better than pirating.
I don’t pirate. I buy albums.
You’re advocating for piracy explicitly
If you’re going to p1r@te, you don’t have to pay sp0tify to do it…

There are patches like spicetify which can do that and way more than just adblocking with a ton of customisation if that’s what you’re looking for
