we’ve returned to the days of record labels and box offices railroading, using and abusing artists to make billions without a care in the world for the artist.
Comment on Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry

And all those music mogul cunts in the executive seats have never made a song in their lives. Mammon takes all, Mammon leaves none.

Remember when Spotify’s CEO, Daniel Ek, said that it essentially cost nothing to produce “content”? Then he tried to walk it back when people pointed out what it said about his attitude to musicians who dedicate their whole lives to making music at great cost to themselves.
Spotify’s CEO got roasted by artists after he said the cost of creating content is ‘close to zero.’ Now he’s trying to walk back his ‘clumsy’ remark
This word “content” needs to die. It conflates art with crap, because execs see both in terms of dollars and are too ignorant and incurious to tell the difference.

I just needed to say I agree with everything you said, fuck Spotify, and I love you for saying the truth about “content”. It has consumed us.
