A boycott of Spotify for running ICE recruitment ads is gaining momentum. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/spotify-ice-recruitment-ads/ Not the only streaming service that is, but boycotts work best if focused. #NoSpotify

@heidilifeldman You are right about Spotify being an evil, stupid app. I would like to say that after hours of researching, I settled on the Deezer music app, and I was able to transfer my whopping 51,000 songs from Spotify in a short time. Didn't know that was a thing but am sure happy I made the switch. Deezer's shuffle works for me unlike Spotify and Deezer fights against AI music and doesn't fund AI military like Spotify.
@heidilifeldman MAKE MP3's GREAT AGAIN!
@heidilifeldman YouTube is running them too.
@heidilifeldman want to leave Spotify but not ready to go to a different style of music consumption? Qobuz is solid and I really like their weekly recommendations. They also have a way to buy music directly, DRM free.
@mayintoronto @heidilifeldman I've been pretty happy with Deezer! 🇪🇺 🇫🇷
It used to *suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck* but when I checked in early 2025 I was shocked at how good it was, now it's my daily driver after I abandoned Apple Music 🇺🇸 🚫
Plus, they even have a 'transfer to Deezer' feature which makes it dead simple.
Honestly I don’t think Spotify is to blame, this is just ICE. Spotify is not even an American company so why would they support an American secret police? If it doesn’t break their advertisement rules it makes them money.
Other platforms also have ICE ads (facebook, IG, and other garbage social media platforms). And let’s not pretent we’ve not all seen cryptobro ads on YT or other finance scam courses.
@heidilifeldman I just complained to a local news channel about the ICE ads on their weather app.
@heidilifeldman Damn, what's not to dislike about that shitshow of a streaming platform?
@heidilifeldman Canceled #Spotify a few weeks ago. Would cancel again if I could!
@heidilifeldman Done! 👍🏽 I just closed my account.
