I feel like a version of this guide gets reposted weekly, but it’s always out of date.
u/theFallenWalnut over on that other site updates these regularly.
They also now link to !purchasewithpurpose@lemmy.world but I don’t see anything posted there. Maybe a better place to start reposting these
Is there a specific reason why Spotify is not suggested as an alternative to YouTube Music and Apple Music?
To my knowledge they are a Swedish company.

That is fair, I was not aware of that
I imagine the us political environment enforces such behavior to maintain a market position in the future.
I don’t see it as a political statement but rather as a symptom of the political environment.
In EU you don’t need to bribe politicians to do business
Spotify is cancer
Yeah but still I rather use a company like spotify than companies from a fascist country. And spotify replaced youtube for me which I lately mainly used to watch veritasium which is now also available on spotify (even without the in-video ads).
Wait… Since when does Spotify host video content?
I had the same reaction. But apparently it does. I guess because they realized there is no real alternative to youtube.
That may be, but shouldn’t it be up to people to decide for themselves whether they want to support Spotify or not?
And people can decide for themselves. Just as the author can decide to include/exclude things they deem appropriate.
