Programmatic advertising should be forbidden on state level. It is a vector in malvertising and misinformation (and thus is a danger to democracies) and makes the user-experience worse in everything it touches.

malvertising and misinformation

You pretty much described most ads. What is the difference?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

That your "most ads" are programmatic advertising.

I've been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.

I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

Tidal is pretty good except for the lack of podcasts. AntennaPod replaced that feature for me and made the switch easy.

[–] oshu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hehe I switched to the exact same things last year. Didn't regret it.

How's the music and recommendations?

For example, does it have a really niche artist I listen to?

What the fuck it does

What about recommendations? I have yet to try it though, but it has the music of an artist with less than like 600 views per track that's crazy
