This week I showed you 4 major privacy failures:
1. Meta Premium (€6, keeps tracking)
2. Cookie banners (made privacy worse)
3. X encryption (lies in marketing)
4. Discord (wants your face)
Every problem came from surveillance-based business models.
Here's how Snugg solves all of it:
Snugg vs Meta Premium (same price tier):
Meta Premium (€5.99/month):
❌ Removes ads, keeps tracking
Snugg (€5/month):
✅ No ads
✅ No tracking
✅ End-to-end encryption
✅ Chronological feed
✅ Finite feed
Same price. Different philosophy.

Here's a wild idea: what if the people who create music actually owned the platform they distribute it on?
Crazy, right?
In a world where streaming giants are owned by investors who've probably never picked up an instrument, we chose to be a cooperative. That means every musician, listener, and business partner has an equal say in how we operate. No billionaire overlords making decisions about your creative future from a boardroom.
Yes, it limits our investment options. Yes, it means we can't just chase profit at any cost. But it also means when we say "artist-first," we can't be bought out or pivot to please shareholders tomorrow. It's literally baked into our business model.
Platform cooperatives put power back where it belongs—in the hands of the people who create and consume the culture. Revenue follows listening, data stays with artists, and community values can't be overridden by someone's quarterly targets.

Oh, finally, an extension that saves us from the horrifying privacy breaches of (*gasp*) YouTube and Reddit, by redirecting us to a salad bowl of "friendly" alternatives nobody's heard of. 🥗✨ Because what we all really needed was more ways to not watch TikTok! 🙄 #PrivacyWarriorOrHipster 🚀

It's been quite a week, fighting a stomach bug and trying to get caught up on everything that's been going on. YouTube still being unable to combat comment bots but you can pay to have ad-block ads played on YouTube.
