        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.
