¿Alguien conoce alguna alternativa a #Spotube que sirva con #Spotify? Me interesa que me permita descargar música de esa aplicación en concreto, pues es la que más uso para escucharla normalmente.

Supongo que, si no encuentro nada, me pondré a bajarme Torrents y eso. Pero me da mucha pereza.

Alright, so long, #Spotify.
Today, I read about reasons to leave Spotify. Some are already well-known:
Extremely shitty payment for artists.
Relatively new reason: Spotify and others flood the platform with AI music
Next reason: the CEO invests in AI drones (yes, that's right, military weapons). See for instance here:

An alternative?

I switched from Spotify to Tidal years ago, and then last year completely deleted my Spotify account and data. That was all before I even read Liz Pelly's Mood Machine, which I cannot recommend highly enough, and before Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invested millions into AI drones for use in combat.

Today I learned that Hearing Things, one of my favorite music publications, is also done with Spotify. Cheers!

When #Spotify wasn't paying us self-published artists, nbd, right? Nobody does.

When Spotify wasn't paying the top pop artists, nbd, right? They get enough money being famous.

When Spotify's CEO became an AI ARMS DEALER, nbd???
