What's with lastFM these days? I used it some 20 years ago when they started and they offered free, automatically curated radios (like Spotify ), but then they flipped, thanked the users for the data they collected from listening data and switched to some subscription model

I wasn't aware of that. I quit using them when they switched from whole songs to clips.

Friendly alert that it's currently Bandcamp Friday - one full day that the site gives 100% of purchases to the artists. It's a good way to support small artists and build up a personal collection.

The company that currently owns Bandcamp laid off all of the union bargaining team members when they acquired Bandcamp, or rather, didn't extend an offer of employment to all of them which is effectively a layoff or firing. Just adding on to your comment so people are more aware, in case they need extra convincing to only buy from Bandcamp on that day (or preferably not at all). Purchase directly from artists whenever possible. Pretty sure those workers who were fired are still seeking resolution, and I don't think Songtradr, the company that acquired Bandcamp, ever recognized the union even though they voted yes in their vote to unionize with OPEIU months before the acquisition. Go here for more info.

This right here is one of many reasons why you should download your purchases. Protect your collection from the inherent instability of capitalism.

Yup, enshittification comes for everything in the end. The profit motive takes no prisoners.

I simply just installed Metrolist on my phone.

100 % piracy robbing musicians, but more importantly, robbing Google while circumventing Spotify altogether.
