Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.
They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

A lot of things are dark and scary right now, but we still got together to raise over a million dollars to make life better for kids in hospitals. I love @desertbus.org so much and I'm so proud of what everyone does for this each year.
Next year is the 20th, that's wild.
