Why YSK: Spotify forces you either to pay, listen to ads or to find unofficial, potentially dangerous versions to use it. It’s better to find a free alternative, both for your wallet and for your peace of mind.

    Adverts like this post shouldn’t be a think in “YSK”. It makes no sense.

    This app is literally just music piracy in a fancy shell anyways. Since there’s no YouTube ads displayed, artists get nothing. Think Spotify is bad at paying artists? Try… piracy…?

      That’s fair, but I am curious how much of streaming revenue go towards the artists and how much goes towards the labels.
