Apple Music because I live in the Apple ecosystem and have been in iTunes since the beginning. I tried out Spotify with each redesign. I did not like their interfaces at all. The only thing I found that is better in Spotify (for my needs) is they have way better and more user-generated playlists. That’s one thing I miss in Apple Music, but there are apps that will allow you to copy a playlist across services.
I will upvote any clip of Ferguson’s show.

I loved this show so much when it originally aired. It was always a bummer if you missed an episode because of how serialized parts of it were.
Yeah, I’m experiencing that too. Essentially any post that is just a title and link don’t do anything because the link in the post is not visible.
Same thing happens to me on macOS in Arc and Safari.

Lol. This sounds like a dig at spez.
