    The CEO using money stolen from artists to fund a war machine that nearly none of the artists would not support doesn’t bother you? No? How about platforming Joe Rogan? No?
    Actively destroying the music industry by making up AI bands, and paying the least to real artists, while being the worst app in every way? No?

    Ok, well you stand by your principles and don’t let morals agrt in the way.

      The CEO using money stolen from artists

      What? the payout ratio on Spotify is 70/30, 70% goes to the artists, 30% goes to Spotify, same as everywhere else, who is having their money stolen?

      to fund a war machine

      Again Europe is currently at war with Russia, I don’t understand how this completely skips your mind, it’s like the second biggest thing impacting the west right now, immigrants and war in Ukraine

      How about platforming Joe Rogan

      Who gives a fuck about joe rogan jesus

      Actively destroying the music industry by making up AI bands

      The AI bands are already there and they’re on every platform

      and paying the least to real artists

      ??

      while being the worst app in every way

      Still works for me? Not sure how it’s the worst?

      well you stand by your principles and don’t let morals agrt in the way

      My morals support artists so I pay for Spotify so that the artists that I listen to get paid money every time I listen to them, also because of my outstanding music taste (no pop music allowed!) I increase the payout for smaller artists as they get a bigger chunk of the pie.

      All that other shit is either exaggeration (funding a war machine 🙄) or just silly (platforming Joe Rogan… the like most popular podcast in the world… can’t believe they’d want him on the platform)
