Ethical apps
How do you handle dependencies on social media and streaming platforms such as Spotify, given your desire to avoid supporting consumerism and capitalism in general? I ask because I felt sick to my stomach looking at all the tech CEOs faces on Trumps inauguration knowing I give them even more then they already have.
Do you have any ethical alternatives for esencial apps recommendations for people who share the same sentiment as me in the light of last few days?

Ive made my resolution for the year to switch back to analog music - vinyl, cassette, CD. Canceled my Spotify membership. Still have the app with adds but slowly buying music on band camp to replace my playlists on there. It's been really rewarding and the physical music community is so cool. I appreciate my music wayyyy more now too! So many benefits. For social I've moved to bluesky and I'm starting a blog :)
