How are you getting free from tech bro influence? - Lemmy.World

Cut out Amazon. Quit facebook and twitter. What else, though? If the mighty dollar reigns supreme, and I wanna vote with my spending, what small steps can the average person make to disrupt the patterns of the nihilistic ego tripping energy vampires who are willing to burn it all down so they can live forever?

Slow tech. I recently transferred my music library from my laptop (mostly ripped CDs) to my phone. Love having offline access to my music. Listening to entire albums. Not paying money to Spotify that shills for ICE and is ripping off artists by creating AI music.

Going to buy a cd player and/or cd-rom and buy more CDs, or buy digital albums directly from artists.

I always heard about Spotify ripping off artists and thought “well, it can’t be worse than YouTube’s random demonetisations, can it?” but what’s this about it shilling for ICE?

“Shilling” isn’t quite right but they ran ICE advertisements.
