Nestle is swiss. It is still one of the worst companies in the world. Don't support terrible companies.

Spotify is a shit company.

They pay artists peanuts (0.3¢ compared to apple's 1¢ and qobuz's 1.3¢) but not only that, they put arbitrary thresholds that artists don't get paid at all under, and when the artist goes over that threshold, they don't get back pay, they only get paid for additional streams on top of it, and it is a monthly threshold so it resets constantly.
They push AI slop unlabeled onto consumers so that they get to keep 100% of profits instead of having to pay out artists and record labels
Spotify gives money to right wing efforts and their CEO is reportedly a right wing nationalist. They also gave money to the trump election
Spotify invests in war companies, particularly partners with one that is trying to use mass location data to spy on people and use in targeted drone attacks and such. Hmmm, I wonder if one of the biggest apps in the world that tracks and harvests all user data will use that data to help their extremely large investment and partner's war machine?
on android, Spotify just works bad. Muting albums after a few songs with the only way to unmute being skipping backwards and then scrubbing in the song. It happens over and over. This only happens on albums, not Spotify-created playlists with the same songs.

And more 🙃
