Did you know? - Spotify runs on Google servers.

How do I know? I get the same 403 error when I try to open Spotify and Google websites.

      Since I just listen to songs there, I don’t see the potential danger. When Funkwhale will get more attention, I’ll create there an account too. (And maybe will switch). I have a FOSS app for listening podcasts. (AntennaPod) But I really start to think Spotify AI is shit because it recommends me songs I hate. I select songs for myself better like letting them do for me.

        And I use a VPN, and a Spoti app for mobile, that has trackers nulled and ad-free, made by a friend. I run Spotify as a Chromium web-app on desktop.

      A VPN probably costs less, and will be useful for longer. No need to rip when you can sail (unless it’s not on the seas yet).
