Spotify Hits 252M Premium Subscribers, On Track For First Full Year of Profitability
"We’re where we set out to be — if not a little further — and on a steady path toward achieving our long-term goals," said CEO Daniel Ek.

For those (esp musicians/producers) who have difficulty joining the dots. Royalties you have earned & are being denied are instead going to the Rogans of this world. So ups to all for helping to create the fuckery we are about to go through (again) & funding war tech etc. stay away from Scumify plse

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

IDK about potential pop stars, but if you're an underground, indie artist doing yr own thing, Spotify isn't for you. You are wasting your time & energy promoting THEIR platform at the expense of YOUR music.
You do the promo, they make the money.
Fuck that. Promote your music, not their platform.

Just reading about how the Dutch Spotify viral charts are almost completely full of AI created, far right, overtly anti immigrant 'songs'. If you use Spotify (even for free) this is what you are endorsing & supporting let alone their investment in war-tech & anti artist/producer theft. STOP SPOTIFY!

twitter hiding replies from me is how my stalker was able to reply to me for months talking about raping me and cutting me into pieces without my knowledge. he was violating my protection order and i didn’t even know it.
it kept him out of jail.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me*
I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason
I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself
I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden

Finally some good news.
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Anyone who thinks this is a net good for Aotearoa is simply entitled, cruel, greedy and selfish.
It is a symbol of white supremacy.

Also, I see some journalists repeating NZ First’s line of "introducing" the bill, as if they were tabling it in the house.
All this reminds me that I wish (more) reporters would report not just what a politician said or did, but what they’re doing with what they said or did.
