Found this conversation critiquing Spotify really interesting. Some interesting suggestions on how to lessen reliability on Spotify and other big streaming platforms near the end of the episode. I do stream music so not a saint regarding all this
📢💥 Spotify unwrapped 📢💥 - Liz Pelly on the self-serving myths Spotify's founders have peddled about the history of the company, how the platform negatively impacts musicians, and how Spotify manipulates the listening habits of users:

This dialogue exposes how Spotify’s algorithms shape listening habits, erode community, and hollow out music’s cultural connection. Yet, resistance is growing as musicians and listeners imagine alternatives to this monopoly.

I think one of the reasons why it's tougher to reckon with the failures of COP30 than previous recent COPs is the high expectations that things could be radically different in the Amazon and with Global South left leadership- which overshadowed how bad is climate-class struggle on the periphery.
This episode of @poltheoryother.bsky.social is so good but in my mind so so so depressing of our future...everything sounds to me so so so bleak!

The COP system has reached peak liberal capitalism: we'll let social movements in, but private capital will be there in even higher numbers. Record high, actually.
But we still wonder why the end results every year are a few meager victories amidst gigantic delays and strong denialism?
