I mean they paid Joe Rogan $100 million dollars so they have already wrecked their reputation.

Yeah, I switched to deezer then, haven't had any trouble with it.

Ngl, I canceled them and haven’t gone back since. Don’t really miss it much, I try to use the same cost as my subscription to buy music every month on CD when I can.

I have recently discovered Qobuz (French company). You can purchase digital music. They aren't cheap, but they have selection and hi-res music (sometimes 24 bit).

But good on you for the CDs, too!

I heard they pay artists a lot more. Need to double check.

Try bandcamp too. Almost all goes to the artist and you get FLACs.

I've used them plenty but..

They recently got acquired by a turd company and if I remember correctly, already issued a round of layoffs.

Don't recall the details. Check.

I cancelled it the second I found out how easy it was to get it for free.

I still buy FLAC releases individually from artists I like, I just use Shittify for discovery. Fuck 'em.

I just want to remind people that you may still have a used CD store in your city, also 2nd hand stores for CDs. They tend to be quite cheap these days.
