The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Damn, spotify truly is a scourge to artists.

Owned by Sony

Sony, Universal, and Warner. The three parasitic conglomerates that own the rights to almost all popular music between them.

Yep, spotify pays a fraction of what napster, tidal, and apple music pay while raking in record profits each year.
