ditching spotify

spotify sucks. they pay artists $0.003 per stream. so to make $15 (that would then be split between the artist and label generally if indie label) you would have to stream a single sound 5k times.

also

it actually compresses music to sound like shit. the founder supports weapons manufactures, AI slop, and Trump. so do yourself and use truly anything else. Tidal interface is not my favorite but it does sound GREAT. also joanna newsom is on tidal and apple music not spotify. cause she is smart.

another resource in understanding how streaming has basically destroyed / is destroying the middle class musician - read liz pelly’s mood machine.

ok i will get off my soap box now!
