I found it abhorrent to deny a frequent doze of animation in my teens, when cartoons actually screened only Sundays. Campaigns against comics & D&D always had an alarmist bigoted tinge, but I totally welcome Australia's decision instead on worrying about withdrawal symptoms.

Spotify is a parasite that is sucking the music industry dry.
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
