I currently have Spotify, mainly because I signed up a while ago and never really bothered to explore alternatives.

I pay €13 every month these days which I feel is quite a lot. I was already thinking of getting a few friends together and sharing a family plan, which would make it cheaper. But if I'm doing that I might as well take a proper look at my options.

What are some good, hopefully ethical, European alternatives? I know Spotify is from Sweden so good in that regard (?). Deezer is French, but also mostly owned by some American investment firm. If I can believe what I read they pay artist a bit more, which sounds like a good thing, but I don't want my money to mostly go to American investors...

Any advice is highly appreciated!

Voor zo'n 10 mensen is de situatie zo complex dat er momenteel geen oplossing is. Dit komt onder meer doordat ze last hebben van ernstige lichamelijke klachten of een verslaving hebben. Als deze personen niet meer worden opgevangen, leidt dit volgens het college tot "zeer inhumane situaties" met een "grote kans" op overlijden.
