Tidal is way nicer than Spotify. No bullshit promos for right-wing dipshit podcasts or shitty playlist payola schemes. It's like what Spotify originally claimed to be; an agnostic platform for streaming music.

I've been paying for Spotify for years. I've never heard a single promo for a single right wing dipshit podcast.

They display visual promos on the front page of the app, even for paid customers. For over a year, Joe Rogan graphics were slathered all over the front of the app.

I don't recall ever seeing one, and even so who cares?

I care. Promoting a conservative dipshit is harmful and dangerous. I expect that kind of grotesque behavior on Fox News, not on a non-political app.

They gave $50 million to Joe Rogan for his podcast. Imagine how good the player could have been if they had given that money to developers instead. It could have went to the musicians as well.
