    Honestly, Spotify is only half bad compared to the real scumbags of this industry, and that’s the “rights holders”.

    It’s not the artists who created the music I’m talking about. It’s the record companies taking the largest piece for themselves.

    They are the ones earning on other people’s talent and success.

        I’ll die on that hill. 90% of the artists I listen to, I found through spotify’s algorithms.

          Ok, but why not find a human that curates the kind of music you like? They are called DJs.

          I don’t understand why we need to get rid of human DJs that seems like the last job we need to replace.

          edit why do y’all think I am talking about radio DJs? You…. know there are wayyyyyyy more DJs out there than just radio DJs right?..…right?

          ….like y’all know mixes exist right? Like mixcloud or whatever?
