Fake 10-second podcasts are easily found fronts for black markets, reports say.

    Clearly most people care more about other factors than they do about audio quality that isn’t even discernable through their Bluetooth earbuds.

      i dumped spotify because they raised the price so they could include podcasts that i couldn’t give less of a rat’s ass about. also the ai bullshit and the refusal to allow me to block artists. spotify can get fucked

        I never moved from pandora to Spotify and could never find a good reason to.

        I realize I’m a decade out of the loop, but what did it do better?

          i never used pandora–is it true you can’t make your own playlists? that would be a no go for me. i switched to tidal and have no complaints

            Pandora was initially antithetical to playlists, the concept was utilizing the music genome project to play songs that are like songs you’ve liked, intelligent radio.

            Playlists probably was the thing Spotify had that pandora didn’t have that made Spotify get big, you can make playlists now.

            I only use pandora because it’s music discovery is so good tbh.
