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

Thank you for Informative infograpahic. However i have doubt about recommending Waterfox, in my opinion it should not be recommended for the reason that its involved in an unclear business practice to sustain its development.
Waterfox is a fork of Firefox with some tweaking, probably somewhat close to LibreWolf which i think have better offering for being more a community driven project.
However, web browser is a complex piece of software, features and important bugs & security fixes being added from time to time, so it is also important to consider how fast they merge the change from Upstream (Firefox). If it’s too long to to get update it could introduce security issues. So as of now i don’t see any viable alternative to Firefox, Chromium or even Ungoogled Chromium.
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
My guess is that it’s to reach the people on Reddit but not on anything else.
Mail: Posteo is missing.
Also: Spotify is a bad joke.
Not really big on not trust for Proton currently either.
Also: Kindle?
What’s the reason they give mastodon the privacy badge, but don’t give it to lemmy or signal?
The Fediverse is great, but privacy really isn’t its thing. Anyone thinking the Fediverse is the privacy-focused choice has really misunderstood the whole pitch.
That’s what happens when you half ass your work.
I though Orion was free to use?
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.
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.
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.
