The most challenging part of giving up #surveillance tech (so far) was giving up Spotify.
My ADHD comes with a constant, annoying, loud earworms, and often the only thing that can help is listening to the song playing in my head. But when I saw that Spotify was asking user for #ageverification, I canceled my 10+ year sub. You know who I am, you have my credit card info!
After months of "detoxing", I have figured out how to live w/o music streaming. I can live without your service, too. Try me.
