We should all be using Tidal, fuck Spotify

I'd love to switch. But all alternatives are even more American, so it feels a step backwards to go from something at least mildly European.

Checked it out. Not a fan. You can’t even browse their catalog until you’ve given them credit card info, but from what I can gather, their selection is pretty lacking outside of the genres they choose to focus on.

Who asked for this? What’s better about it than just sending it via text?
This feels like a desperation move. Like the early 2010's when every company was trying to be the next MySpace or FaceBook by integration social features.
I mean they are in a good, maybe even monopolistic position. So not sure if it is really desperate. But all of big tech has been hiring and spending absurd sums with nothing to show for the last years. 2005 to 2015 was a huge leap tech wise. But 2015 to 2025? Stagnation at best. But in most cases even worse user experiences. How can they justify the spend?
