This is probably the first time I've seen anyone argue that paying Google is the more ethical choice. Fuck that company with all of my heart, I literally pay for both email and search just to use their services as little as possible, and will be caught dead before I start paying for YouTube.

I guess it's one devil or the other. I just can't pay for deliberate disinformation is my belief on the subject.

What ethical option is there? I don't know.

Using Last.fm for recommendations and buying the albums from bancamp (yes, I'm aware of the recent news about bandcamp, I'm very worried but depending on what happens a new platform may emerge like bandcamp, who knows) or just... pirating it
