    I don’t know who Black Rocks is or whether or not they finance wars and genocide. I also couldn’t find anything regarding them investing in TIDAL. Can you confirm with sources for either claim?

      BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager, overseeing trillions of dollars for governments, corporations, and individuals.

        So I see. I still can’t find anywhere that says they invested in TIDAL.

        But does that make TIDAL unethical? Does the poison run up the water stream or down?

            So Block owns TIDAL, and BlackRock owns some shares in Block, and BlackRock does some shady investments.

            I dunno man. I don’t know how far/many steps back I should take before I consider it far enough removed from the unethical practices. It’s not like TIDAL invests in war and genocide. Right?

              You give money to Tidal, that gives money to investors that use this money to finance wars.

                  Yeah unfortunately in some ways we’re financing that if we don’t take actions. Fortunately for streaming the switch is super easy and the transfer of songs and artists automated

                    So like, would I be able to get all my followed artists and playlists carried/exported from Spotify over to Qobuz somehow?
