It depends. If it’s something I know I’ll use, especially a consumable, I’ll do it.

I like Deezer. I’ve been using it and telling people about it since Spotify was insistent about being focused on chasing a politically charged content (over) investment instead of delivering quality, behavior driven content based on their algo.

It’s easy to avoid buying things from Amazon. It’s hard to avoid AWS. It would be insane to try to suss out what provider everyone that I buy stuff from uses, and their third party relationships. Regulation is better.

Fair enough, my apologies. I did that insular thing where I assumed you were in the U. S. My bad.

It’s on Peacock, if you subscribe.

“Yes” will give me a bastard of a tension headache everytime, so no.

This isn’t holding up, time isn’t after us.

You can say it. It’s perfectly legal in California.

I’m used to ours jumping out of the tub.

Or stop making fuel artificially inexpensive?

Sweet, thanks!

Yes, I seek out the most ethical option with whatever I consume. Being fair to people and kind to the environment should always come before convenience and profit. Especially for anything considered a luxury like coffee or chocolate. It would be nice if it was just on the shelf at the store since I’m already there, but it usually doesn’t work that way.

There might be a desire from those that were looking for the top response to let it ride for visibility. I wish most things were as practically packaged as flour.

Edit: Can we do coffee next? I drink a lot of the stuff, and unless I roast my own, there is absolutely no environmentally friendly option. I tried roasting my own. I set off the smoke detector, upset the dogs, and made my house smell bad.

Oh and Deezer pays even less to artists than Spotify.

I don’t think that’s accurate. Care to provide your source?

Meanwhile, the masses are still using all the ‘services’ because they all have momentum. I’m not confident any of them can do anything bad enough to chase off their users.

As a consumer, I will now forever remember that WebMD’s C Suite is most interested in “crushing their competition” and being heavy handed with their employees. I once thought that they were concerned about the betterment of societal health. This is how you lose your most performant employees.

I can’t believe they published this to a publically available platform like Vimeo. Did they already lose their Marketing executive?
