Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!


You aren’t wrong. I went back and forth on whether to include them. The reality is that everyone knows Spotify and far better to educate people on why NOT to support them (hence being red and with a disclaimer).

Oh, how I WISH Qobuz gets the same excellent feature as Tidal has - when you share a link to an artist/album/track from Tidal, and someone else clicks it, two things can happen:
It just magically solves all the issues with people not wanting to switch because they like sharing their music.
I also found Tidal had the edge in user experience. I’m wondering how Deezer competes, as that is the next one for me to try.
I tried Deezer and Qobuz before choosing Tidal. Deezer music recommendations were barely adequate, but the real dealbreaker for me was their piss-poor Android app. The app seems like it was designed more than a decade ago and never updated, and the in-app navigation is frustratingly unintuitive.
And your thoughts on Qobuz?
I really liked everything about Qobuz except for the recommendations. I swear there’s no algorithm used, it’s completely random. I’d be listening to deep house and it would give me crazy suggestions like Frank Sinatra and aboriginal didgeridoo music, nothing related to house. This was back in March. I’d give Qobuz another try if they did a ton of work on their recommendations.
Doesn’t the premise imply that Spotify should be in the left column instead then?
The service being “superior” or convenient is counter to the argument.
Personally, I would have them on the left column, but there is a general divide in the EU community on whether they should still be encouraged as a “lesser of two evils”. As a compromise, I have left them in with a huge disclaimer. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/D5JUoM1dZysf7JJgTAWXy/
Gotcha. Thanks for explaining.
