I'm using Spotify on a free account with ad blocking. Soothes my guilt at least a little bit that they don't make money off me.
Well but the artists won’t get any money from you either then. Not that they would get much from Spotify anyways. They’re among the worst in artist payouts.
I need to look into switching, but unfortunately Spotify has my music tastes dialed in pretty well.
