Spotify: actually a Swedish company, but one of the worst companies out there. I hate Apple but at least they are paying artists better. Spotify actively supports scammers (with AI music and phone farms) and breaks the law by promoting artists connected to their stakeholders.

Deezer is owned by a Russian oligarch who funds the US republican party.

Don't know about the rest. But as far as I know there are no music streaming services with a moral compass.

We are currently pausing new signups in order to work on our system.

Sad face... I'll keep an eye on it, thanks!

Is Spotify owned in large part by US mรฉdia companies nowadays ?

Edit: I guess Jamendo is a streaming service in a way. And also I think Tidal was supposed to be pro artist or whatever. It's American though I think.
