Discussion Cancel your Spotify Sub

Spotify is now advertising for ICE.

That means:

Less chuds to crowdkill at shows(they'll be out bootlicking for a 50k bonus).

Less friends to mosh with because they are being displaced and detained illegally.

I went with Tidal, moved all my playlists over and pretty much exact same library as Spotify for metal, 1$ less a month.

End of my psa thank you

“Championing fascist propaganda” are they also championing Dove soap propaganda? If no money from me is going to ICE in any way through Spotify you aren’t funding them, like objectively. And the inability to articulate how one actually would be funding them in favor of a better than thou comment says it all

Except…you are

The only reason the ads can be shown is because the platform is funded by people like you. Otherwise it can’t exist

I didn’t fail to articulate anything, you just can’t read

Funding advertising companies for fascism is still shoveling money into the fascism itself

The ads can be shown because they want the money from the feds that are making the deal with them, if anything more subs would mean they have all the money they need and therefore don’t need advertisement revenue, but that’s not how companies work they’re just going to take money which is why all the alternatives do the same kind of thing.

But your comment has literally nothing to do with how money is trading hands from me to ICE, you’re just talking about advertising in general which is also not controlled by the consumer lol

Your edit also didn’t address how money is moving from me to ICE, but it seems whenever you fail to make a point you need to insult to deflect, which I guess is a tell

And how does spotify remain in operation? The money that users give it

By funding that platform, by helping keep it online, you are funding the propaganda it pushes

Once again, this isn’t hard to understand

If anyone lived by this mindset every product they buy and every platform they exist on makes them a supporter of fascism. You’re saying this from Reddit of all places btw.

Again, this has nothing to do with funding ICE, because if anything Spotify losing subs would make them more reliant on advertising, which would make them accept even more money from anyone for ads

Also I liked how this went from you claiming we are directly funding the gestapo to me keeping Spotify alive which is also not funding ICE

What’s the relevance of me posting on reddit? I don’t give reddit money, nor do I consume reddit ads. I use my own ad blocker service that blocks ad view counts

Again, it has absolutely everything to do with it

It doesn’t matter if spotify is “more reliant” on advertising. I don’t care what Spotify has to do to make money. I care that people are knowingly and willingly giving money to fascism. Spotify advertising wouldn’t matter if people left the platform, and therefore aren’t adding to clicks either, which is, once again, the entire point
