Oh boy, another reason to hate Spotify.
31 0 Reply- platform racists
- pay racists for exclusive rights to platform
- remove songs requested taken down by authoritarian governments because it's important to them they do business in those countries (apparently)
- leave "heil hitler" up despite it being an obvious problem "because it's not their place to censor art" (see prior point)
- use algorithms to push down challenging and importart art and promote unchallenging consumable music, or worse right wing propaganda
- the media bubbles regardless of what's in the bubbles isolate us
- don't pay artists what their music is worth even though what we pay for is access to the music the artists make
- this ai bullshit
what else am i missing? because i know there's tons more
