Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been so busy with various things and needed to take a break from all my social media accounts. Slowly getting back into the swing of things though!

Not content with making it harder to earn money from music, apparently Spotify makes you LOSE money now.
Really starting to hate this company.

Spotify fucking sucks. And soon they'll want more money for their suckiness.
The industry can be a really shitty place, especially for new / independent artists, and they're doing the opposite of helping!
If you appreciate music, make sure you buy from Bandcamp / buy merch / vinyl etc!

Some fun Spotify wrapped stats:
86%: How many tracks artists say Spotify has demonetized on its platform.
$0.004: How much the average artist makes per stream.
US$114M: Spotify CEO's investment firm spending on AI military tech.
$0: How much the intern who says she created Wrapped was paid.

Spotify officially demonetises all tracks with under 1,000 streams
