I will never use YouTube music. Specifically because back when it was Google play music, they allowed you to upload your own library… Then arbitrarily decided to delete everything after a couple years.
Tidal is great. A little more expensive, but it’s owned by artists, and puts the most back in the pockets of artists. The audio quality is also fan-fucking-tastic.
Ukrainians are actually reporting the drones to be vastly overpriced compared to similar Ukrainian drones.
Otherwise there is quite a few indications of corruption and it wouldn’t be surprising if Helsing will become the next Wirecard, as Germany once again follows the fever dream of some billions-worth start-up without following up on what it actually can and cannot do.
Although i strongly doubt, that they would have R&D justifying 4x the price of Ukrainian competitors, when people in the field say that the capabilities are similar.

It feels weird defending Spotify as I have always disliked them and preferred YTM
i just YTM as well. mostly because it’s the less shitty option out there. sucks that there are no good options.
hope this comment summons people with actually good suggestions for my to check.

For real! After shutting down GPM, YTM felt like an absolute insult. Everything about it was just worse.

Deezer and Qobuz
CEO of Deezer is a Russian agent
Oh yikes 😬
Except deezer is run by Russian Oligarchs. So qobuz.
Thanks for the context

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t they expensive simply because of startup model and having to pay off R&D? Meaning they should normalize over time.
Why should Ukranians pay for that though?

Fair point. At the same time, western stuff has always been more expensive, but at this point it borderline feels like a cope.
In any case, what Spotify did does not exactly equal killing kids,bthat’s straight up russian propaganda.
