A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Are these things free and privacy friendly? Never heard of any of them
I've been on Qobuz for a while now. It's not quite as good as Spotify when it comes to catalogue or community playlists. Other than that, I haven't seen any AI slop or ghost musicians, and the suggestions are very human. I believe they pay about 4x royalties that Spotify does.
None of them are free, but they all have a month free trial. After that they're all $10-15 a month. Not sure about privacy, it wasn't a priority when I went looking. I hadn't heard of any of them before I went looking for alternative music services.
