presenting: “i90” live for the first time featuring @brosaleigh.bsky.social when i first wrote this tune, it was for a world where trans folks one day were losing healthcare and rights across the country i did not think that world would come so soon this is the definitive performance of the song

Migrated a year and half ago Transferred playlists in 3 months Got used to Apple Music probably in 3-6 months. Only thing I could not transfer was artists but after a year I have almost everyone back and followed anyway. Spotify begs for me to come back with 2 month trials, deleted it.

I use Tidal, though for reasons beyond my comprehension, my wife and kids all use Spotify.

quit spotify about a year or so ago (would still use it for podcasts bc apple music didnt have podcasts but ive since quit it for that too)

I haven't used it in a couple years, but it was never my primary. Took all my music off there a while back.

Yeah it’s donezo

I only used it at work. When work's policies changed and they removed the players, I stopped using it. Had an account, never had it on a personal device. (I'll check music out on Bandcamp now, and if I like it I'll buy a cd.)

Never officially "quit", just haven't used it in like three years, most of what I want to hear is on Bandcamp anyhow. I miss some mainstream releases as a result, occasionally that's a bummer but pretty rarely.

Deleted it and removed all of my music from it

Used it briefly a few years ago and hated it

✊✊✊ Also pulled my music off the platform.

I quit and deleted a while back. Went to Apple Music as I get it with my Family Plus subscription. Plus, it sounds WAY better. I’m an avid record collector so I always buy physical media too. Gotta support the bands you love!

Never used it. The way they came on the scene by putting everyone's music up on their service with no plans for artist compensation until they were forced to give up shit to labels instead, leaving artists to eventually get fractions of pennies for plays? Yeah, FUCK ever supporting shit like that.

I never really used it, but I'll be another uninstall stat

Yep, quit last year. Don't miss it

✋

The moment I heard Spotify wasn't paying artists enough, especially for how popular it was, that was enough to never fuck with them. I was only ever curious at the choice in artists for my "radio station".

y

switched to tidal. it's not great. will probably try something else

I’ve never used Spotify. Not sure how it got so popular because very few people I know use it. I work at a company that makes electronic musical instruments and music is my whole life, so I value artists like you!

Still have it because it’s included as a taxed benefit at Starbucks. Would not re-subscribe if I manage to find a new job.

I'd say I've half quit. Probably 80% of my music listening is on my mp3 player of music I've bought, then I use Spotify for playlists and checking out music before buying. I'm on a friend's family plan, but if he ever cancels I'm not gonna pay for premium.

👋

CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE IT 🥲 I’m so happy this was filmed, one of my favorite moments of all time.

Eight years ago now. Took Apple as the better of bad actors.

Never used it personally and we did not put the latest Perennial release on Spotify

Working on it. Probably switching to Qobuz.

✋ 2 years ago. I use Apple Music instead

👍

✋

🤘

it was a few years ago but yeah

👋
