Spotify is literally hosting an Andrew Tate podcast on “how to recruit and exploit women for pornography.”

They were hosting three of them. Two were removed because of public pressure, but one remains. He literally should have no platform for any reason.

Please boycott Spotify until they end this. And contact them to let them know that he’s a repugnant pile of shit who needs to be punched in the face.

Spotify logo and a quote from Andrew: “trafficking women and keeping their earnings. I take all the money from all my girls. I take it all. I pay fractions to them because I give them enough to do their nails and hair so they stay pretty. So they can make me more money. It’s all about me.”
Spotify logo and a quote from Andrew: “how to make money selling women. The girl has to be smiling. She has to be happy. The men aren’t going on there to see some miserable bitch. Their wife is a miserable bitch. They’re spending money to see a happy girl.”
Spotify logo and a quote from Andrew: “how to trick women into commercial sexual exploitation. We’ll give you a fake name, a fake location. No one’s going to know it’s you. Just lie. Someone will probably recognize her eventually. By then it’s too late.”

@stux this is my first time hearing of #Koel. It looks pretty stunning though. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot sometime! Currently I stick to #jellyfin and #finamp.

Ooh, looks nice! Running Navidrome atm, but I'll try this out as well and see where they differ.

Also, yep, Spotify is horrible. I was using my family's subscription but recently moved off it because of many reasons. I thought their continued support of Joe Rogan + paying so little was enough, but this is just another reason to not look back.

I remember trying to use Spotify for podcasts, but the UX is vastly inferior to the FOSS alternatives (+ a big feature of podcasts are that they are just RSS) and you still get ads as a paying subscriber. Shit platform overall.

I have often thought about cancelling my spotify account, as they pay next to nothing to artists. I have to admit, I continued using the app for my music and podcasts, just with a bad conscience. Not proud of that...
I had a Premium account that I got with a phone contract.
I just cancelled it.
Your message came up in my timeline, and I looked up Tate on spotify. It was the last drop in the bucket for me. Thank you for giving me the last push I needed to delete spotify. I did let them know that I cancelled because they still give a platform to the likes of Andrew Tate.

@isa I’m with you. The lack of equity for artists is a crime in itself. This, however, is absolutely abhorrent. Imagine being the person who is like “sure, we can host these shows.” Anyway, I’m happy my post was influential for you. Thanks for letting me know. 🙌🏻

@isa I use Tidal to stream music and I like it.

The ultimate goal is to own physical copies of the artists I love and be able to listen to them remotely somehow, but that day is not today.

@BafDyce @isa @EyeOfTheWolf it has no federation and if fully ‘private’ so only accounts you create

Its more like a personally Spotify and not a social part ;)

For me a req was a good iOS app with download capability
