Back in the day, Grooveshark was the king before all these subscription guys showed up.
I’m confused. Is every app in the UK requiring face scanning? I thought it was just adult content.
According to the article :
However, the platform does have certain features that are aimed at mature users.
In Spotify's case, you may be asked to verify your age if you try to "access some Spotify content and features, like Music videos that are labeled as 18+ by rightsholders". This could also apply to podcasts that discuss mature content and songs with explicit lyrics.

...return? LOL
Who could have guessed this very obvious a most expected outcome?! Not Spotify, I guess.
What do you think of Qobuz? From what I've seen, it's got more stuff than bandcamp (at least from my library). It seems to pay the artists well too.

I have never in my entire life paid for a streaming service. I didn't stop pirating when Netflix was the only game in town and cost $8 / month. I didn't pay for streaming even when every normie started getting internet access and "everyone was doing it". Even during the high point of my life where I was not only gainfully employed but also able to accumulate savings I STILL never had a streaming service. You could count the self hosting spotify clone I made as a "streaming service" but I'm not paying extra money or probably supporting people with different ideological beliefs than me in order to use it so that really doesn't count.
LOL 'Spotify fans' buch of losers
Bring it on! Sail the high seas. Yargh!
