That absolutely pissed me off, not just because of the BLM propaganda, but also because Apple was literally preventing you from using a service you were paying for.
This wasn’t just some ad or extra feature. They actually removed most of the Apple Music functionality that day in order to shove that nonsense down your throat.
Time to disengage. Read old books. Make your own music. Cook your own food. Grow some of it too if you can. Accumulate skills and network with people who have skills you don't have.
There’s money in the equation somewhere, at least they think there is. Under socialism the rich would get even richer and only us normies would suffer. How else would it make sense that rich movie stars would support it. Capitalism made them money, but Socialism would make them gods.
Yeah, they think there’s money in it, and from a business point of view it would seem to make sense to at least avoid offending groups of people, because everyone is a potential customer, but what they don’t seem to grasp is that most people are annoyed by the constant obnoxious, disingenuous virtue signaling.
But what I’m also trying to say is that if the country would go totally socialist/ communist, there would be, like, tax incentives or breaks or something for these woke companies/ people. There’s money in it for them somewhere, otherwise they wouldn’t be encouraging it, they’d just sell me their damn products and then shut the fuck up about their morals.
They have alternative sources of "funding" that would make us ill if we knew the scope and origins of it. The good news is that the masks are off. We now know them as the confirmed enemies. Wish that we could boycott them all, but it is somewhat difficult since they own most everything in our world.
Has anyone threatened to sue? That seems like a breach of their terms and certainly doesn’t sound like it comports with the numerous representations they make when advertising the service.
Day of the service costs like 35 cents. Sue on behalf a class of the 60 million subscribers. That’s close to $20 million. Take 40% in fees. $8 million. I could tolerate the hate for $8 million.
I was playing Call of Duty and every single loading screen had black lives matter crap everywhere. They also delayed an update they were going to release because of the BLM shit. So sick of this shit. When this stuff used to happen I would just stop using a service or buying a product but now it’s being forced down our throats by literally everyone.
None of the games my husband and I play did that to us.
I hate to say this, because as a gamer I know that everyone has different tastes and such, but at least in gaming it is avoidable; you just have to be willing to drop AAA titles like CoD and Fortnite. Again, I'm very sorry (I actually am, I wish they'd just let all of us play video games like we wanted), but try out games from other parts of the world and lesser known developers, or hell even older games that still hold up.
Escape from Tarkov is Russian so they don't care about any of this. A lot of the old Star Wars games still have ongoing communities. Any Japanese game is pretty damn safe, like Phantasy Star Online 2. Or hell, just stick to the slightly smaller AA studios: games like Risk of Rain don't have the development resources to do that kind of crazy shit at the drop of a hat.
But just so you know, if it doesn't hurt the player numbers for CoD that they did this, then they will do it again.
This is why individual boycotts are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. The companies know that they still be making money, and lots of it. They do not care if a handful of people cancel services or not buy their product.
I had no idea what this was about until you wrote your comment and this was what was reported on Bloomberg:
Spotify, YouTube also back [Hashtag]TheShowMustBePaused initiative
Music giants make playlists, donate to fight racial injustice
Apple Inc., Spotify Technology Inc. and YouTube joined [Hasthtag]BlackoutTuesday, an initiative tied to the music industry’s [Hashtag]TheShowMustBePaused movement, which supports protests across the U.S. against police brutality and racism toward African Americans.
The iPhone maker paused the browse feature on its Apple Music service, presenting users with a message about standing in solidarity “with the Black voices that define music, creativity, and culture.” The feature sends listeners to its “Beats 1” radio program playing motivational songs such as “The People” by Hip-Hop artist Common, and “Sue Me” by rapper Wale featuring gospel singer Kelly Price.
Spotify created a “Black Lives Matter” playlist with songs including Public Enemy’s “Fight The Power” and “FDT” by California rapper Y.G., which
speaks out against U.S. President Donald Trump.
The music division of Google’s YouTube canceled all meetings on Tuesday. Executives for YouTube’s business and music teams also invited staff to take the day off.
That absolutely pissed me off, not just because of the BLM propaganda, but also because Apple was literally preventing you from using a service you were paying for.
This wasn’t just some ad or extra feature. They actually removed most of the Apple Music functionality that day in order to shove that nonsense down your throat.
Companies care about forcing you woke not making money.
These "companies" are just battlefield assets for those seeking to destroy us.
Time to disengage. Read old books. Make your own music. Cook your own food. Grow some of it too if you can. Accumulate skills and network with people who have skills you don't have.

Read the story of brooks brothers, they got bought out, went woke af, and just went bankrupt.

No - it doesn't work like that. The subscription isn't for a day. It is for a month. Damages are $15.99 per subscriber.
So that's $959,400,000 in damages
When a class is certified, then you can start stacking attorneys fees on top of that.
Oh yeah and wouldn't you know it, the attorneys fees are like $600-1000 an hour. And it is hard work finding all those 60 MM subscribers.
Could be wrong on some details - maybe there is a better class action expert than me on this DOM.
That's fucking amazing. You couldn't even search for other music? Glad I don't use that shit.

Vote with your wallet. My life has become much simpler and easier as I cut unwanted brands out of my life.

This is not Woke.
This is a communist takeover.
And they are exploiting black people to do it.
If Spotify ever gets this woke I'll cancel them in a heartbeat and go with someone else.
That's outrageous
they banned infowars and milo podcasts
that happened a long time ago , limbs
They already did
I noticed some recommend BLM compilations sigh but easily ignored and didn't impact my user experience. Did I miss something else?
No that's about it. But it's enough for me
