Not really big on not trust for Proton currently either.
Also: Kindle?
Spotify? Is this a joke? Lol
And they unironically say to join them on reddit.
They do call out switching to Lemmy in the graphic at least, thought that was pretty funny tho as well. Could link to a Lemmy community as well for the same thing
Spotify donates to Trump and is overall horrible.
Deezer is a French alternative to Spotify, it pays artists a little bit more. https://www.musictrendz.com/post/which-streaming-service-pays-artists-the-most
Qobuz is another French streaming service that pays one of the most in the industry

I know many people feel entrapped by streaming services, but I switched to Bandcamp like 10 years ago and have never been happier with my music habits. I buy music I like on Bandcamp Friday and store it locally on my PC/phone. Load up and take away as needed.
Sure, it's a bit more effort to purposefully seek new music, but I love that process. Makes it a very deliberate listening experience.
I though Orion was free to use?
Spotify doesn’t belong in there at or or in the left being transitioned to another.
free: arrr... (distant parrot noises).
To be more on topic: In deezer you could listen to audiobooks in correct order with just a random email account.
My last disappointing use of spotify free was, as it force-shuffled the album I was listening to.
Of all the alternatives for gmail, why suggest another American solution? GMX (.com, .net, .de, .ch) has been around for 30 years, is fully German owned and hosted, and got both free and paid tiers just like mail.com.
