How can Spotify possibly be better than Apple Music? I mean this earnestly.

I agree, Spotify is predatory and has pretty bad rates for artists. It should get lumped in with Google and Apple.

+1, explain yourself op

TIL it's not American

With the Joe Rogan issues, I'd put it on the other side of this infographic

Signal should have the privacy marker as well, its currently the safest way to communicate that doesn't involve one time pads or offline gpg keys

Outside of Spotify, these are great recommendations.

Spotify is a US company, no matter how they tax evade.

It's Swedish?

Pretty much

I know you did not make this guide, but here are some corrections and more stuff:

Browsers:

Search Engines:

There should be markers for Bing and Google index-based search engines.
Mojeek is a sustainable, private, non-US search engine, that has its own search index.

E-mail:

Proton Mail has a scandal involving one of the founders saying pro-Trump things through their official Twitter account.
Tuta and Proton Mail have very good free tiers, you likely won't need to pay at all.

Social Media:

It is Mastodon, not Mastadon.
Akkoma is better than Mastodon, it has 10 times the character limit, and pledges to be sustainable, AFAIK. It's fully interoperable with Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse, too.
Threads is also a microblogging platform that should be replaced.

Edit: The browser stuff is covered in another part of the guide. My bad!
