Fuck Spotify. There's lots of alternatives
Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

one of my favorite interactions I've ever had is when a Japanese guy in like his 40s, asked me, with a slightly bewildered tone "where do you even hear about this shit? even Japanese people don't know this" in regards to me talking about some old untranslated game

there’s no possible way there can exist as many PS1 hidden gems as are being discovered
the only explanation is that people are producing brand-new PS1 deep cuts and backdating them to 1998

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people
Puzzmo — The (new) place for thoughtful puzzles.
Re-imagined mainstays like the daily Crossword Puzzle, modern classics like Really Bad Chess and SpellTower, and even a few brand new puzzles.

I'd love for more complaints towards crunchy roll, who has been doing this to its subtitles too
I watched Wolf's Rain with friends, and the AI garbage that was used to make the subtitles made them horribly distracting and disrespectful with how wrong they were.
Get this AI slop out of here!

Your response matters.
I guarantee you there is a whole department of people at Prime Video who is quietly celebrating today.
Keep up the good fight, everyone.
