i removed my music from Spotify back at the end of 2023 because of this and i regret nothing
The most basic argument I can give you for ditching Spotify for *anything* is Spotify, uniquely, pays *nothing* for much of the music on the platform. Is there *any* improvement in paying for Spotify over pirating? You're a paper-thin moral slice away from buying music from a bootlegger. Why do it?
Confirmed: From 2024, tracks on Spotify will have to be played 1,000 times before they start earning money
Spotify has told industry players that it expects the new 1,000-play minimum annual threshold will reallocate tens of millions of dollars per year from 0.5% of its current royalty pool to the other 99...

just cause i know the history of the band i went and looked up NIN on there and
- the article is *so bloated*
- it doesn't mention Atticus Ross officially becoming a member in 2016
- the tour history table ends in 2008
- no discography section???
- it features alt text for images that aren't there

My opinion on video game pricing is that every video game that costs less than $30 should cost $10 more and every video game that costs more than $40 should cost $10 less.

the overwhelming anglocentrism of large parts of the internet and the media landscape in film/tv/popular music etc. is a detriment to people's education on the world and international worldviews/histories and should be viewed critically *especially* during the current rise of fascism in the US
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

the first time i was exposed to David Lynch was when i was channel surfing and happened to just tune into arte right when they started airing Mulholland Drive immediately followed by Lost Highway, it sure was one hell of a 4 hours to go in mostly unprepared
Streaming has let us control what we watch and when we watch it but the fact that young people nowadays will never channel surf and find Godzilla vs Monster Zero at 1 AM is a tangible loss to the human experience.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

missed it by about a week now, but a little over 5 years ago my first ep "midnight sessions" released and going back is interesting. realizing i have been at it for this long certainly is a factor, another is that it sounds like i had an idea of what i wanted to do but didn't know how to get there.

Hey, if you're an author and have the chance to claim ... wanna do something really funny?
*nudges article your direction*
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.
