This was from April. It's all code for "reduce overhead" since they already take artists for all they're worth. Laying off a bunch of people does that

its apple storage tho

societal collapse when

fr

Thought Spotify was the most used app

Spotify is so s***, I'd use Tidal before spotify but AM > All

Are you John Spotify of the Spotify dynasty? Who the f*** roots for the corporation in this scenario?

Streaming service bubble is popping. Charging people $12/month for all of the music in recorded history isn't (& will never be) a sustainable business model.

It is so over!!

Good f*** Spotify.

don't care tbh. if spotify goes I'm just going to another. Like I give af about some lay offs

tons of layoffs in the media landscape the last 6 months and there will be more ahead!

I'm never leaving my own library

Keep that streaming s***

Stimmys coming next year

We're all so f***ed if streaming services fall under the financial pressure of record labels

It's going to look like 2007 all over again.

me cancelling my subscription pushed it over the edge

5 months severance + paid healthcare they'll be aight. admitted they overhired. 17% layoffs in december still some lame s*** though

if they improve the UI im there in a heartbeat

they already have lol

gotta do more war trading and war stocks to make up the loss

okay i applaud you for the eloquent virtue signaling, but this doesnt address how you literally are doing the same thing even though you don't have to, which is the sentiment that's in the post you quoted. that was my point before that you refused to address. if you still use spotify, you're willfully part of the problem. you're a hypocrite.

and before you try this on me, i cancelled apple music last year and instead i use an ipod classic with a 2TB hard drive i installed MYSELF (i know this aint feasible for everyone but there are far more accessible options out there, im just a music obsessive) and can play any filetype i want via Rockbox software, and i use slsk or buy from bandcamp directly if i like the artist. i have literally 0 subscriptions to any of these garbage megacorp streaming services and if i really wanna see something on one of em i torrent it, and almost always never end up finishing it because it's trash anyway. last time i finished anything from netflix was cyberpunk edgerunners, and i dont even recall anything before that aside from that one series with jonah hill and emma stone dir. cary fukunaga. and i NEVER use postmates or uber eats and none of that (that's why i said "speak for yourself" in the post you quoted, because you said "we" like oh you speak french now? because im not included in that) because im not tryna get coronary heart disease so i cook all my own food and eat out extremely sparingly, and if i do it's at a small business, often black owned since i live in the atlanta area.

no im not "moralizing what i spend money on" because you might try that one on me too, i'm showing you how you can do the bare minimum too, and honestly be healthier, happier and save money for yourself and your folks, and contribute it instead to causes you care about, for example. yeah there's no way to live in a late capitalist society without contributing to its hegemony in some way, but at least i do what i can and don't act like it's all good/i have no choice if i don't do the bare minimum, unlike you. we need revolutionary struggle but until that becomes a feasible thing to do contributing to the buttressing of capitalist dominance in ways that i dont even f***ing need to isn't something i feel like i have to do, because well... i have a conscience.

Spotify is goated for recommendations. Only thing that’s keeping me from going back to Apple Music.

didn't see this post. yeah, you just traded one devil for another, brother. one day yall will wake up and realize you dont have to be part of this scam

time to go back to physicals
