EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn't work with anything. It's mildly infuriating because today, I can't still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.

Please don't make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.

I mean to be fair, Spotify as a company clearly would rather give millions to right-wing shitheads than ~anything else.

How else will Joe Rogan be able to afford his basic necessities like subverting democracy ๐Ÿฅบ

Out of all the things that Spotify is shitty for that's the least of my worries about them, and I fucking hate right-wing shitheads. People would rather see the artists they love starve if it gave them convenience to enjoy their art without actually paying for what they do.

It's honestly kind of baffling to see people go up in arms enough to side with fucking Disney "in support of artists" because AI is supposedly stealing from them and the same people go on with their lives and put on Spotify and feel self-righteous. People fucking suck.

and the same people go on with their lives and put on Spotify and feel self-righteous

Yeah but consider that for me for example, I was previously giving exactly 0 to artists. Now I give whatever tiny amount my odd song played here or there pays out. Which is more than previously.

Is it a lot? No. Do I listen to a lot of music? Hell no. Did I buy any music before as a result? Fuck no. And now I sometimes listen to some. Plus the music I listen to I couldn't buy in physical anyways (low-fi or synth background noise while coding), and wouldn't know where to buy digital even if I wanted to. Previously I just used a noise generator, btw.

It's probably not a good idea to assume that 100% of listeners on spotify would have invested that same amount of money into physical sales.

Imagine if they had spent that $50 million on programmers instead. They could have had the best music playing app in existence.

wait they DO THAT??

I'll need to rethink my choice in streaming platforms, because that's messed up

[โ€“] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't tell if you're being serious or not but they gave Joe Rogan a platform and pay him a lot of money for it. Probably other stuff too if they support that.

It would be quicker to list what's right with him

Horse dewormer man.

He's a lunatic

He's the male Gwyneth Paltrow selling brain pills instead of Goop. He promotes alt-right and far-right conspiracies. He told people not to get the COVID vaccine. If he just interviewed people -- even people from all sides -- I'd be fine with it. Problem is he promotes dangerous conspiracies and usually ignores fact checking. He's using his influence and authority to do harm. And worst of all, I think he just does it for the ratings.
