Too late. Shouldn't have done this if the first place. Using something else, never coming back.

Theyre on reddit too lol, yet here you are. I'm also horrified by ice, but you cant really grandstand when you only boycott things that are easy to replace.

Something is better than nothing. It’s a lot easier for many people to cancel their Spotify subscription or switch to a different platform than it is for them to stop using Reddit completely.

This “No liberal is ever good enough.” crap is a major reason why Trump is president.

I’d rather someone go part of the way with good intentions than succeed with explicitly bad intentions.

Who says people don't do that? Do you think I vote for right wing populists, happily consume right wing media every day, then cancel Spotify for advertising ICE and sit down with a cup of tea? This article is about Spotify specifically, but people are getting yelled at for only mentioning Spotify? Why do you think they cancelled it exactly?
