I liked the ads and saw the candy in a japanese speciality shop.
The small packs with 5 pieces has a very artificial grape flavor.
Not my cup of tea tbh.

But you need to remember that those targeted practices are very few in comparison to the volume of neuro-regular/non-technical folks.
So we arent peone to the same bullshit in regards to volume.

That’s the joke tbh.

Are we talking about theBiden administration?

The chart is neat.

But I could care less about (US) politics while listening to music.

My pleasure :)

Japanese are difficult to deal with.
It sure was a process to get them to release on Spotify. Before that they tended to stay on Apple Music.

Examples of artists I liked:
Tokyo Health Club - J-Rap but a bit more lo-fi
-> One of my favs: https://youtu.be/GSRfeUHZZN8
-> Honorable mention: https://youtu.be/ErLSUsqERm8

• Crazy Beats (Touhou - Eurobeat Remixes)
  -> Just open any of their songs and listen ;)
• Akatsuki Records (Tohou Remix - All kinds of genre)
  -> Same here
• Hololive (A group of vTubers that also release music of all kinds of genre)
  -> https://youtu.be/twUFbqyul_M
  -> https://youtu.be/WGgEFoI9MhE
• Ado (Also very diverse voice and genre selection. But usually more towards pop and pop-rock-like releases)

And I think that’s sufficient enough for free.
Though non-random playback is a nice addition :)

Although better, still very little in comparison to bandcamp

Who is any better? Literally all are paying pennies to the artist per stream.

Be happy it was free and ads could probably be blocked.
Would you appreciate it more if they blocked the view of the library like the videostreamers like Netflix or D+ do?

I recommend <your jellyfin instance>.

Jokes aside, the only reason I use Spotify is for discovery and the vast catalog (primarily the JP music market).
And I havent seen Qobuz be mentioned in any capacity by japanese artists.

Imagine having so much pastures for livestock, deciding to export it and then needing to import it agin…

Certified bruh moment

No.
I still treat it as if it was from 2014

Maybe 90% is written by AI, but also 90% is edited back after AI fucked it up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What?
Can’t say my instance is any of that.
Honestly I rarely found any fellow instance user to be pretty logical

You’re right. They forgot (US-)politics

Finally peaceful governments? Fantastic.

It is for sure a dud
