I agree. I don't want to give Bezos another cent, which is why I asked.

I'm thinking about going to YouTube too since you can also see videos that have nothing to do with music. haven't pulled the trigger just yet though.

There is a moral alternative. You can choose a platform that doesn't make you want to puke at the corporate scum running it. So Amazon and Spotify, both out; neither are getting my money.

Means nothing in the grand scheme of things but it does to me. I'll sleep a little easier knowing that ****er's evil hands are nowhere near my Paypal account. If you adopt that attitude why do anything? Nothing you do will make any real difference, other than burning down buildings (hi, Varg!) or hacking into Spotify and robbing all their profits, or replacing Rogan with a deepfake that gives him tits or orange hair or something. You do what you can live with, that's all you can do.
