I now just engage in broken record regarding my replies to "you dont have to wear a mask":

"The science is clear on the importance of air filtration & ventilation, and the airborne transmission of viral particles in enclosed spaces.

Further, CDC distinguishing between droplet and aerosol is not in fact backed by rigorous, modern scientific studies & largely depends on studies done before JFK became president."

Twisted Sister's Dee Snider says Spotify CEO “should be taken out and shot” https://www.nme.com/news/music/twisted-sisters-dee-snider-says-spotify-ceo-should-be-taken-out-and-shot-3562836

Remember, Dee Snider fought valiantly alongside Frank Zappa and others against diabolical associations like the PMRC. He knows what he's talking about.

'According to Spotify data, there are around 100 million songs on the service, yet only around 37.5 million meet the new requirements to generate revenue.'

From 2024, Spotify are essentially taking away payment for a little less than two thirds out of all the materials that artists create that is available via Spotify.

‘I’ve been sacked for asking for time off to tour’: the perils of being a musician with a second job https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/dec/04/musicians-second-jobs-anchoress-himalayas-pigs-pigs-pigs-pigs-pigs-pigs-pigs

Being a musician today is a horrible slave existence at worse, where you have to work at least one other job and earn minimum pay, not to mention zero income via places like Spotify.

uses a business model that favors the most popular artists over lesser known independents and it's only going to get worse. We need a decentralized Bandcamp/Spotify alternative but until that happens, we need to demand that the most streamed musicians like etc join the movement to at least make the payout structure more fair.
