I had gotten Youtube premium and enjoyed it. My subscription ran out and I find I have 90% use of it for free. I got it to listen to the app on my phone when I was out. However the app sucks ass. I would listen to one song and then the app would just crash. SO I never got to use it for the intended use.
So which would you choose? Youtube or Spotify? and how is the Spotify app on the phone?
I use Deezer. Not quite the same selection, but unless you’re listening to something pretty obscure I don’t think it’ll matter.
Plus if you do iirc the creator gets more per individual listen from Deezer than other platforms (don’t quote me on that though)
Deezer also doesn’t host JRE and they didn’t provide a platform for literal nazis, so advantages all around.
Wait, what does JRE stand for on this case? Genuinely the first thing that comes to mind is Java Runtime Environment; and googling it doesnt help. It’s also pretty common to see apps developed in Java.
I wrote some allocators for IBM’s JVM eons ago, I get that. As much as I hate Java, I wish it would be related this time.
Unfortunately, I was talking about the Joe Rogan Experience.
I will admit I like listening to obscure stuff which YouTube does really well. The only problem is that they will play the music video instead of the song on free youtube music.
Tidal is actually THE highest paying platform for artists if I remember correctly.
However, tidal adjusts it’s prices for the country’s gdp, so it’s half the price here in Romania. This also means the artists payout is reduced, so that’s worth noting.
