Here’s Johnny!
This is kinda standard practice for many of the tech companies… I’ve had to provide such information to Google, I think I declined last time but it was some rights for Youtube that time, it’s also something that Facebook do ask some users if they think you’re not using your real name…
I totally get your sentiment about this.

There are much better ways to stay in touch with others. For example, friend or family discord communities is a far superior way when compared to any Meta platform.
I get your point but this one I’ve got to disagree on. You need to get your friends and family to use that, and that’s not going to happen lol
I think you’re right. I’m pointing moee to his leadership and how he has allowed sexism and other bad behavior to go on without any consequences. He even told an assistant that he would have her killed… https://www.pcgamer.com/more-shocking-activision-blizzard-revelations-bobby-kotick-once-told-an-assistant-he-was-going-to-have-her-killed/
He might earn himself and the stockholders a lot of money… But in my eyes he’s a great example of why I don’t like capitalism, but that is another discussion tho!
For sure. I hope that Lemmy becomes one of several reddit-like platforms that can compete against Reddit. It’s going to be hard considering how Lemmy is designed but it’s going to be nice to have a more decentralised social media presence. I would love if something would come and defeat Facebook as well… I only use it to stay in touch with friends.
Thanks for a constructive comment! I would say go for it. You can import playlists. I don’t think there is a native way but it might be by now.
I actually think the mixes that Youtube Music makes for you are much better than what Spotify gives you. But then again Google has loads of more data points on us.
You can get a free month I think that’s how I got into it.
Don’t think that’s really the case tbh. YouTube has allowed this for some time, yes, but they have been blocking this also from time to time. There was a reason why i started to use Unblock Origin in the first place because Adblock plus i think it was stopped working.
But a year or two ago I tried YouTube Premium for free for a month and ended up canceling Spotify and only using this now. The fact of the matter is that Google is losing loads of cash because people are blocking the ads.
I’m not pointing fingers to anyone here, I myself have used ad blocking for years, but when the price was right I jumped ship from Spotify and became a premium subscriber at YouTube.
It’s a shame this clown is taken so seriously. I really wish Musk would just stop being so fucking vocal about everything he has no fucking clue about…
