My wife has cancelled the Spotify family subscription over their continued hosting of Andrew Tate, and let them know why in the cancellation process.
It already felt bleak knowing your subscription was funding Joe Rogan about a million times more than your favourite artists, but it turns out they could and do go lower.
Fuck Spotify. Awful people.

There's a petition if you're into it - https://www.change.org/p/demand-spotify-remove-andrew-tate-s-harmful-courses-on-how-to-traffic-women
There's only one thing Spotify care about though
@davey_cakes it’s obviously a totally different business model but I was able to find a lot of artists that I like on Bandcamp. If an album comes out that I’m stoked about, I want to start buying them on there. Exponentially larger artist payouts and higher audio quality: https://bandcamp.com/about?from=footer
@developerjustin @davey_cakes when you’ve bought music thru bandcamp is it easily accessible on different devices? I wonder, too, if you get DRM-free files
@tsyum @developerjustin @davey_cakes files are DRM free, yeah, it's just a zip of files in your preferred audio format (from wav to mp3 or ogg, they have several)
