It's great that you exited Spotify. That's a genuine win and a good thing all around. But that quest for the "good" streaming service it put you on? That's a fool's errand. There are NO good streamers; streaming is simply not an equitable or sustainable model for music under capitalism. Sorry. They're ALL venture capital backed corporations. That means they're all on the same path: extracting maximum value from music at minimal cost and maximum profit to themselves.
Teaser thread time! Here's a preview of the current Other People's Music -- just the first line of every review, along with links to the music, socials & full review. Don't need a tease? Dive into the whole thing here:

If I get banned from Bluesky for harassing one of the devs, I'll probably spend a lot more time here. Which, honestly, I should, I just wish there were a few more folks here . And yes, the dev deserves it. You don't get to say it's possible to be bigoted against AI (while simultaneously not posting about ANY current actual bigotry, genocide, or other organized hate happening) without catching these hands*! (*These hands typing out insults and ridicule; I'm not showing up at their house LOL.)
Bandcamp Friday is behind us, but new music still wants to be heard! Have a listen to these albums that encompass drum and bass, IDMbient, unplugged rock, space music and noise art!
