And Deezer is owned by a Russian Oligarch who was personally sanctioned by Ukraine for profiting off of the war.

This is not the Winamp you're looking for.

    Yeah, pissed me off when another lemming informed me cos I had left Spotify for deezer because Spotify basically joined the evil big tech club.

    Only one that doesn't seemed to have evil ownership is qobuz... Which I have now, but I hate it.

    I don't hit the high seas myself, but sometimes it sounds like the only sane choice. ☠️

    Damn I didn’t know that. I picked Deezer because they were the only music streaming service I could find not based in the USA and their Purple Heart logo is cool. Tho might as well go back to Apple Music which I know isn’t good morally either but at least it pairs perfectly with my iPhone

    If you don't have any morally "good options" then the only correct choice is one of personal conscience.

    Anyone who says otherwise with out being a hypocrite is either Amish or living off grid in the Alaskan forest.
