Bad information regard Covid is killing people and Spotify, in sticking with their man Rogan, are guaranteeing that bad info will continue to spew. Micro-micro payments add up to something if you've getting millions of them.Īgain, I get it. What kind of annoys me about Young and Mitchell taking their stand now (vaccine related, which I get - they both had terrible experiences with polio as children) is that Spotify has been getting away with their shit specifically because their business model kind of works for known quantities, already established artists, with sizable audiences and back catalogues. It was only later that I realized just how badly artists were being treated by the platform, which made it easy to stick with my original decision. And at some point shortly afterwards, I decided maybe I already had access to enough music here-there-everywhere. The first time I tried to sign up, something pissed me off.

Posted by srboisvert at 9:49 AM on January 29 Only I have come to gradually realize it was just some turf and flowers over a pile of garbage and now the walls of the walled garden are closing in and it's actually a trash compactor and oh god I'm going to want to kiss my princess sister but she likes some asshole with a vintage car more than me and my dad just cut my arm off and I am going to live with pengwings in the outer space Hebrides and do hologram reunion concerts. I feel like I accidentally fell into a walled garden mostly due to the convivence of not having to move my music onto every new device or platform. I am now sick of the talking heads and almost every other band that I foolishly liked a song of on the Spotify app. Oh you like Talking Heads? YOU GET TALKING HEADS EVERY 5TH SONG THEN.even when you are listening to a low-fi hip-hip trance playlist. Spotify seems to have adopted a saturation model with their affiliated labels. I DONT HAVE A DOG PANDORA! and am not a Republican either. Pandora started hitting me with dog heart worm medication to me 5 times per hour in 2020. recommendation engines were already failing me horribly - I discover almost no new music that I like. Posted by fight or flight at 9:39 AM on January 29 įor me this is just the tipping point in an already shitty experience with streaming services that is probably going to motivate me to finally go back to my 15 year old mp3 collection. It's expensive and inconvenient, but that's the price of having a (slightly) clearer conscience in 2021, unfortunately. But certainly, if you want to support your favourite artists, the answer is always to go as close to the source as you possibly can. Of course this is much more expensive and out of reach for many people in terms of meeting the amount of content that Spotify and so on have at hand, which is why it's not something a lot of people choose to do. I think, ultimately, if you don't want to participate in the corporate machine or passively support bad shit, the best thing to do is to track down the artist's work and buy it either directly from them or from a brick and mortar store, or one of the more ethical platforms listed above, and then construct your own music library from that with a media player. (The list is at the end and tl dr, Amazon pays the best.) There's a good guide here on how much many of the major platforms pay artists, which seems to be the metric by which most people consider a streaming/podcast platform to be 'ethical' or not. I’d love a better choice so could use some advice. Posted by tonycpsu at 9:12 AM on January 29 There's a special place in hell for whatever lawyer reverse-engineered these guidelines from the first principle of 'how can we protect our most profitable podcaster?'

Similarly, they allow podcasters to say wearing a mask is ineffective, just not that wearing masks will cause imminent, life-threatening harm. These guidelines seemingly allow podcasters to say the vaccines cause death - just not that they are designed to cause death.

Promoting or suggesting that the vaccines are designed to cause death Suggesting that wearing a mask will cause the wearer imminent, life-threatening physical harm Suggesting that consuming bleach can cure various illnesses and diseases
