🎼 Quitting Spotify, ethics, and pay per stream
musicI don’t think it’s ethical to use Apple Music, but I DO think it’s unethical to use Spotify. I don’t think the “How to quit Spotify” article made any point other than finding a more ethical alternative to Spotify, which isn’t hard… and yes, pay per stream has to be a part of that equation.
Related to the previous entry on pay-per-stream, in typical Crucial Tracks fashion, Jason nails everything here, including why Spotify isn’t a great place to be and why you can’t just shrug off the pay-per-stream part of the discussion. Just because there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, doesn’t mean you can’t try—especially when you can do so for the exact same price.
