Since they starting pushing AI music including AI music under accounts of deceased artists, I can’t be proud using it
You do you, I’m just informing that it isn’t a good company
I REALLY dislike this kind of attitude. Spotify is probably one of the biggest tech companies that most Americans rely on for a daily basis so we can’t just give up on it. If you give up on a company for (in this case, relatively/very minor) reliance on certain practices, you won’t have any companies to rely on as an alternative at all.
why do you defend a company that is known for ghoulish business praxis? lol idc if it’s european if it fucks over small artists.
What ghoulish practices do they have?
they use their close-to-monopoly stance to squeeze every cent out of their company while paying their artists (without whom they’d be irrelevant) next to nothing for clicks which goes to labels first and then to the creators. they’re just another middleman in the whole process.
small artists especially don’t get paid until a certain number of clicks. but they realized ai slop gets clicks and instead of actively doing something about it the front page is flooded with soulless trash.
it’s a shareholder company so their business praxis is just: bigger black number good - smaller black number: bad - red number: fuck everyone - as is with every business - they just look how many corners they can cut without losing too many subsribers.
spotify doesn’t view music as any art form - it’s just commodified content
And if a European company doesn’t do this, an American company will.
We should stick to Spotify simply because it is European.
This is all you need to know.
And they have donated to democrats too.
Edit: and that was at his in inauguration too. They are just trying to massage him a bit for some favors. That would actually be good for European businesses.
The donation aims to continue to expand our presence in Washington, D.C., while furthering the goals of our platform and our creators
Massage him for favours? So bribe him? That’s not better. Spotify is a great European success story, but a shitty company, as is often the case for large companies.
It’s better for a European company to bribe an American than for an American company to bribe a European. No?
I’d prefer the American to bribe, and then be reported and fined.
That is what all Americans companies do. They literally just view the fines as a type of tax or they find ways to bypass the law entirely. This is one of the reasons they are able to dominate.
