    Does anyone have a good podcast app to replace Spotify that will keep track of progress across multiple devices? Bonus points if I can self host.

      Antennapod with gPodderersync & Nextcloud? There are podcast apps for Nextcloud to play in the browser.

      I use audiobookshelf. Obviously for audiobooks mainly, but it does podcasts and it works well.

    I already moved to piracy for music because these days Spotify isn’t even giving the normal shuffle option for free users

    Yeah I know it’s cheap but I’m a student so…

    as an independent artist I just wanna add: the best thing you can do to support artists and bands is to buy directly / on bandcamp. spotify pays shit to artists, you need millions of listeners to get any meaningful amount of cash

    of course that isn’t a sustainable option if you listen to a lot of different music. so piracy is an option that I wouldn’t mind. hell, if you like my stuff and just write to me I’ll send you mp3s for free

    You should already be doing that anyways with the phantom artists scandal, thousands of fake artists made with AI so Spotify doesn’t have to pay real people.
