thought this could be a fun little CSPAM discussion There's an (attempted) artist revolution against Spotify at the moment, for several different reasons. The first, obviously, was Joe Rogan. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and others, removed their music from the platform in response to Rogan's covid misinformation. For an added lol, some news orgs tried to spin this as Spotify removing the music, rather than the artists doing so. https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/spotify-agrees-remove-neil-youngs-music-joe-rogan-dispute-rcna13698 But also, other artists (like the eve6 guy and Cake) are trying to build a wider musician's movement to get away from spotify due to the exploitation of artists, low pay, etc. He gives a particularly insane anecdote about his own band's financials. https://twitter.com/Eve6/status/1488158473028202496 https://www.garbageday.email/p/ah-the-cognitive-dissonance-it-hurts It turns out, in fact, that Spotify was bribing large labels with equity share in exchange for them not suing. There's a lot of nonsense in the music industry! https://twitter.com/CAKEMUSIC/status/1488278251617144835 Spotify's pay is atrocious!  (I personally use Tidal bc of the good audio quality and interesting curated content, but they have their own drama around MQA) An unrelated funny thing: There's a hot new NFT grift called Hitpiece, which is allegedly getting millions in VC funding to create NFTs of songs and album art, etc. The one issue, besides all the other issues? They don't own any of the rights, or even have artist permission to do any of this. https://twitter.com/pattonoswalt/status/1488669200344252417 https://twitter.com/LeftAtLondon/status/1488625125821804544 I could post a million of these but you get the point. The company is literally being created to try to force legislation around the issue. This is obviously working very well and they're getting sued to oblivion lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMk0SEi93nY  Some publications are even obviously taking money to talk about it: https://twitter.com/RollingStone/status/1488971625513078794 So here's a thread to talk about how dumb and exploitative the music industry is, or just art in general I guess. There's some good drama going so it seemed like a good time to chat about it.
