Round #451 of telling people to stop using Spotify and consider one of the many, better alternatives.

I mean they do have one good thing going for them: you can separate the art from the more controversial artists, because you know for sure the artist isn't getting a damn thing from spotify

You should list some.

Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music

Deezer user checking in. After Spotify’s Rogan deal I tried Pandora, Apple Music, and Deezer and the latter was the only one I could live with. I’ve been using it for three years and never plan to go back.

I purchase the family plan of YouTube Music. In addition to the music, it comes with ad free YouTube videos. I watch a lot of yt so it's a no brainer for me. Never used any other streaming service so I can't compare.

What are some alternatives? I've heard Tidal is one of the better ones. I'm not necessarily opposed to piracy/ripping my CD collection + self-hosted streaming, but if I can pay someone else for the convenience I'd rather do that.

Do any services have a comparable family plan too?
