The ads urge listeners to “join the mission to protect America” by becoming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, but users of the music streaming giant have taken to social media and Spotify’s website to complain, and announce their withdrawal from the audio platform.

    Or, be part of the user base to increase their numbers and be part of the wave that provides user feedback so dev teams can prioritize those features.

    Not that I trust Tidal not to turn to shit eventually, probabaly some time after an IPO.

      I know Apple isn’t popular with Lemmy users, but Apple Music feels like more of a safe home for that reason. Apple’s business model is very established, unlike Tidal which could change rapidly with an IPO. At the end of the day, nothing is safe that isn’t self hosted, but there are only so many hours in the day to self host services.

      I already did this. I joined both, paid them money and then found out they were lacking these features after doing so. I gave them the feedback. Unfortunately the lack of them really gets in the way of how I like to listen to music. I’m sure others will be feeding back the same

      Yeah I also saw that Tidal had announced they’d be scaling back the amount of funding on development fairly recently before I tried them out. Which didn’t fill me with much hope. But I’ve not written them off at all. It’s not like Spotify is really raising the bar at all these days anyway
