      Google seems front and center too after the recent “privacy” updates to chrome (the web browser with 2/3 the global market share).

        Oh boy, a whole lot. I was compiling a list, but it turns out that Spotifys shady business practices has a whole wikipedia page. Not sure if it’s included in there but Joe Rogan. Just everything about the Joe Rogan deal. As well as their ties to the military industrial complex. It’s less “what have they done?” and more “what haven’t they done?”

            Tidal is pretty popular, they at least pay artists more. There’s a couple other recommendations I’ve seen floating around on lemmy but the names are escaping me atm. I don’t think there’s any services out there with clean hands tbh, but limiting the harm from your consumption is better than doing nothing about it

              Your comment actually inspired me to try the free trial for Tidal and I really like it. In the future I might switch over to it from Spotify, at least they seem to pay artists better.

        Destroying artist’s livelihoods, for one thing. Shady business practices, for the other.

      I guess Facebook is bad for it’s… Well general shittiness… But they did invent react which a lot of the good parts of the internet use
