@Pantherina no, no you don’t. I will say I have been flaburgassted by the number of people on our free and federated network that advertise their love for the freedom denying survailance capitalist “service” of spotify. #FunkWhale4ever
No you dont but you have no social life in that case. People sharing playlists with you, looking up music quickly… personally I dont need it, but its a bubble poorly
@Pantherina I’ve honestly never even heard of sharing playlists through freedom denying proprietary surveillance capitalist software like that. I understand the necessity when sharing personal files, like on #Funkwhale, but I certainly wouldn’t call that a social interaction, let alone a significant portion of one’s social life. Mind explaining it to this old guy?
You can still freely access the playlists on https://open.spotify.com/ without an account. And Newpipe has a share function for local playlists. You won’t be missing on a lot, just don’t fall for the consumerist trap and break the social boundaries.
Edit: You can also access banking services from their respective website. Don’t give them power over you by downloading their apps.
You need other apps.

I dont listen to much music. I dont have Gigabytes of music. No real idea how to discover new music of various genres.
So if people share playlists atleast I need to download the songs. I almost never use that app, but anyways.

Didnt know that! Thats cool.
Banking TAN apps are nessecary if you somehow want to use your phone and not a weird card reader. The app itself is just comfortable
