I liked the ads and saw the candy in a japanese speciality shop.
The small packs with 5 pieces has a very artificial grape flavor.
Not my cup of tea tbh.

But you need to remember that those targeted practices are very few in comparison to the volume of neuro-regular/non-technical folks.
So we arent peone to the same bullshit in regards to volume.

Are we talking about theBiden administration?

The chart is neat.

But I could care less about (US) politics while listening to music.

My pleasure :)

Japanese are difficult to deal with.
It sure was a process to get them to release on Spotify. Before that they tended to stay on Apple Music.

Examples of artists I liked:
Tokyo Health Club - J-Rap but a bit more lo-fi
-> One of my favs: https://youtu.be/GSRfeUHZZN8
-> Honorable mention: https://youtu.be/ErLSUsqERm8

• Crazy Beats (Touhou - Eurobeat Remixes)
  -> Just open any of their songs and listen ;)
• Akatsuki Records (Tohou Remix - All kinds of genre)
  -> Same here
• Hololive (A group of vTubers that also release music of all kinds of genre)
  -> https://youtu.be/twUFbqyul_M
  -> https://youtu.be/WGgEFoI9MhE
• Ado (Also very diverse voice and genre selection. But usually more towards pop and pop-rock-like releases)

And I think that’s sufficient enough for free.
Though non-random playback is a nice addition :)

Although better, still very little in comparison to bandcamp

Because with your logic they’d make nothing.
Never heard of passion projects?

Who is any better? Literally all are paying pennies to the artist per stream.

Be happy it was free and ads could probably be blocked.
Would you appreciate it more if they blocked the view of the library like the videostreamers like Netflix or D+ do?

I recommend <your jellyfin instance>.

Jokes aside, the only reason I use Spotify is for discovery and the vast catalog (primarily the JP music market).
And I havent seen Qobuz be mentioned in any capacity by japanese artists.

Yep. And that’s why I hate those users. Damn leeches

Guess what? We are at the point where we have to already.

No.
Seedboxes just arent (usually) used as streaming servers.
So we fetch the downloads from the server and purge unpopular/non-important torrents

The more seeders, the likelier I’ll probably give 2.0.
But I’ll keep everything seeded as long as I have storage available.

I just throttled it to 10mbps.
Private get unlimited (1gbps)

Dunno.
But (I feel like) every cent paid to Nintendo is too much.
They make great games (at times) but demand so much more for so little progress it’s not quite justifiable anymore.

And some of Lemmy (probably) feel similar to that sentiment.

Edit: And if you have the money to justify the purchase, then feel free. If it makes you and your kids happy even more so :)

Bragging with financial stupidity.

But where you are right now it’s like saying “I voted conservative” in the highest amount of democratic voters where you’ll get lynched for voted conservative.

Never were, seemingly never was.
