Support of Joe Rogan, AI, and selling user data forces me to close my 12 year old spotify account

[afmlegend]

I am cancelling my longtime account and moving to Tidal due to:

- Spotify's continued support of racist, misogynist, anti-vaxxer, and top spreader of misinformation Joe Rogan and his podcast.
- Spotify's overuse of AI to the ridiculous extent of fake artists with AI generated music
- Selling user data as "streaming intelligence", and that data then being leaked
- Continued enshittification and being brash enough to increase the subscription price
- Not paying Artists their fair share
- Daniel Ek raising $600 million in support of AI defense software company Helsing, whose where AI hallucinations mean drone strikes can target innocent people

I will not stop at just cancelling, I will spread the word to every person I can to try and get them to cancel their spotify accounts as well.

I can cease these activities and return to spotify once all of the above issues are very publicly addressed.
