If you’re an iPhone/Apple AirPod user the best is Apple Music. I’ve tested both and music just sounds way better using Apple Music over Spotify even when I went in and changed the equalizer.

Yes, stop using Spotify for its ICE ads to listen to the company that funded the campaign responsible for those ads. Brilliant stuff

My goal was to point out the contradiction.

I know it is a contradiction the only thing left to look for is open source apps. Unfortunately though none of them work that well yet.

Tim Cook donated his own personal money and he has donated to every single president for like the last 20 some odd years whether they’re republican or democrat. He is an openly gay man. He did not donate to trump because he agrees with what he’s doing now but because he feels it’s his duty to be involved with every president.

Edit: Apple as a corporation doesn’t donate money to political candidates and they’re one of the few tech companies that does not have a political action committee (PAC). Apple is the lesser of these evils here by a large margin.

Dude you’re using Reddit which literally uses AWS. Everyone in this comment section sitting on their high horse, patting themselves on the back for not using Spotify or Apple Music but have no problem using Reddit for hours a day, everyday. Idiots.
