#stop using spotify

[some-fuckin-werewolf]

currently, spotify does not pay any royalties to any song that reaches less than 1,000 streams a year.

according to some sources, the new deal they've reached with Universal Music Group will attempt to push forward the plan to withhold all royalties from any artist who reaches less than 1,000 listeners a month.

that's right. Universal and Spotify, reportedly, want to stop paying any musician who doesn't have 1,000 monthly listeners.

stop using Spotify. Spotify is not a music platform. it’s a tech platform designed to extract labor and earnings from musicians and place it into the pockets of executives. they aren't even hiding it anymore. it's worse than piracy.

Let the record show, if this thing accounted for listening to music on vinyl, I’d be at least a top 100 listener for both NIN and HTDA… and the most played album would forever be The Fragile.

I WISH I COULD EVER, ONCE IN MY LIFE, FIND A NON SPOTIFY SONG ON THIS FUCKING APP. I DON’T WANT TO OPEN A THIRD PARTY APP I DON’T FUCKING USE (because of how evil it is, I wouldn’t want to fund that but even if they were not evil, I don’t want to open another app)

I WANT TO HAVE MUSIC ON MY BLOG. NOT MUSIC THAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO IF YOU PAY FOR ANOTHER APP.

I HATE THAT EVERYONE WAS JUST LIKE HELL YEAH THIS IS GREAT AND NOW I CAN’T FIND A SINGLE NON SPOTIFY SONG TO REBLOG

daily reminder: FUCK SPOTIFY.
