How to quit Spotify: a guide from Brian Merchant.

He's gone with Qobuz, a platform that I'm also running with. I'd love to try Coda, as they claim to give artists the most money; I've listed my favourite music-streaming platforms on a page: https://garden.pivic.com/music/music-streaming-platforms - please let me know if I've missed a good platform that treats musicians like human beings.

While places like Spotify and Tidal are overrun by AI slop, Qobuz feels *clean*.

I just read about Brian Merchant in The New Yorker’s “Talk of the Town” section, and I guess I’m a #luddite too, since I would also buy my axe at the local hardware store if I wanted to smash a printer that will only allow its own overpriced ink.
