https://www.spotify.com/
https://www.lynda.com/
https://soundcloud.com/
https://www.pandora.com/

what else?

• https://www.netflix.com/

• https://www.youtube.com/ (esp. when opened or rehydrating in non-focus tab)

• https://www.amazon.com/ (prime video)

[bbondy]

Netflix & Youtube already in the list. primevideo.com I think is the correct link for prime video, added it.

[maikelmclauflin]

there's https://d.tube/

and depending on how far down this rabbit hole you want to go you could include sites like https://www.lynda.com/,

podcasts probably fall under this as well
https://soundcloud.com/

music
https://www.pandora.com

may be a good thing to poll on reddit

@bbondy good ole markdown tripped me up. that was a minus on youtube due to parenthetical reasons 😸

https://www.spotify.com/us/ might be worth a check given @maikelmclauflin 's entry

The user could be presented with two options in the UI:

• no inclusion list (ask for everything; allow custom inclusions)
• automatically add popular websites to inclusion list

The welcome page could potentially present this question as one of the steps (and we could default to popular websites included)

[bbondy]

I think I prefer reasonable defaults and allow user to override over forcing the user into making some kind of decision on our timeline.
