You’re shitting on Spotify and use that to defend that you’re stealing from artists?
Spotify is stealing from artists too. I’m just not lining that corporations pockets. I still buy albums from band camp and go to shows and buy merch — all much more direct impactful ways of supporting the artists.
Spotify pays a fraction of a penny per play to artists. Who’s really the one stealing?
So, because Spotify doesn’t pay much to artists, it’s okay that you pay nothing?
