Perfect, I have been wanting to get off of Spotify ever since they teamed up with Joe Rogan.

Interesting. Do you apply this to all platforms? If a supermarket sells products that you like, alongside products you don't like, do you stop shopping there?

Believe it or not you don’t have to apply the most extreme form of your belief system across every aspect of your life.

I eat a plant based diet but I still shop at a grocery store that has a butcher counter, for example.

Not the GP, but yes, definitely. If a store or brand has collaborations with the wrong people etc., that's definitely a reason to not shop there. I don't find Joe Rogan terrible enough to cancel my spotify subscription, but if they started collaborating with say Alex Jones, I'd find another streaming service in a heartbeat.

Are you trying to give the impression that you‘ve never heard of boycotting before?

Why yes, I do apply the same purity test in every aspect of my life.

Your analogy is intellectually dishonest and uninspired.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are there any big differences between iOS and Android versions?

Well, for starters, they do not support Apple Watch, which is very problematic for me.

The support Apple Watch, just not downloading songs for offline usage, right?

I don/t think the supermarket is a good example, but if a branch company made a product that i see as harmless, i would stop buying from all the other branch. Kinda hard to do grocery shopping without Nestlé and Lactalis, but i somehow manage.

Doesn't the GDPR require that users have the ability to download their data?

Just requested my file, they say it'll take up to 30 days to get my data. Let's see. Edit: still waiting, but found an example here: https://observablehq.com/@a-lexwein/what-i-got-when-i-reques... Seems quite usable data.

When this came up on Reddit the other day, someone mentioned that most of the data is limited to the last two years, with playlists created before that not appearing. Something to keep an eye open for.

It just works as a remote control for whatever device that you are currently playing the song.

... why ? Isn't Joe Rogan pro Bernie as an example ?

Unfortunately the longer time passes, Rogan is pro and against and in between on everything. He's been much more receptive to right leaning perspectives and more critical to extreme left, but also much less critical to the extreme right and much less tolerant of left leaning. Its been incredibly disappointing that he has gotten so out of touch with the style and approach that gained him his podcast prestige.
