I’ve begun discontinuing many US services in favor of EU ones. However, I’ve noticed that some individuals, instead of simply ceasing to use American products, resorted to illegally downloading everything. While it’s true that the money goes to the US when you pay, it can’t justify disrespecting others’ hard work and effort while still consuming or using their products, and it is also illegal. This is especially true considering that they likely don’t have any direct connection to MAGA. This applies to actors, directors, YouTubers, and many others. We should simply cease using their products without giving them any further consideration.

Edit: adding to the last line, we should give instead more attention to locally and European made creations and products

Listening to a track 10x means Spotify says it's worth max $0.05, $0.035 goes to not-Spotify, and a fraction again of that goes to the actual artists rather than the publishers...

So either millions of people listen to a track dozens of times or it's not really worth being on Spotify except for the reachability, right?

Remind me how much of spotifys subscribers money went to antivax podcasts?

No clue, I hope similarly low or lower.

I'm afraid I'm wrong, though.
