#FuckSpotify I appreciate all the comments, even those who think I am wrong or crazy. This is what I did today:
I've removed a large number of little-streamed tracks (that's still a few hundred a year). I'll remove all that won't be paid for before the end of the year.
I cancelled Spotify Family Premium which as it happens, was due to be paid today. How could I justify paying $230+ per year when they're not paying me even the $100 they'd owe me?
"It’s my understanding that I had over 80 million streams on [#Spotify this year,” #WeirdAlYankovic said in his video. “So, if I’m doing the math right that means I earned $12. Enough to get myself a nice #sandwich at a restaurant.”
He added, “So from the bottom of my heart, thanks for your support and thanks for the sandwich.”]
Advice, buy directly from your favorite indie artists. Pirate any millionaire artist. Make a server with #jellyfin or smth and stream it to your devices.
@astronomywriter sadly (or happily) this is the tip of the iceberg. My 7 inches are manageable (matron) but the rest are becoming a problem. Partly because Mrs B is starting to notice the space invasion. If anyone asks they cost 5 pounds each, max.
I cancelled our family Spotify subscription rather than see our money pay Joe Rogan and I encourage everyone else to #DeleteSpotify
We already subscribed to Apple One so all that music was still accessible, but with 100% less of our money supporting his dangerous anti-science nonsense.
