A muso friend of mine linked this article and it does make me want to drop spotify, but jesus, it is hard, because it is so utterly convenient. I can find almost anything I want to listen to. To be clear, I pick bands, not playlists. And metal is a lot harder to manufacture than other types of music, I imagine.
Maybe if the music industry unionised they could rally against Spotify...
I have a friend that has music up there (his "band" is The Dressing Gowns) and I think he said something like it'd take him 128 years to make 5 cents based on the fact he gets about 5 people a week listen to him.
Most of the time I forget I have Spotify and just jump on YouTube when I HAVE to listen to one song right now!!! (Hello to Bob Dylan's Country Pie)
Actually, thinking of Bob Dylan, they didn't even have the album I was looking for on there the last time I jumped on and spent 10 minutes trying to find it.
I never consciously chose to boycott Spotify, I just never started using it, and now I am vehemently resolved never to do so š¤
Me too

That truly sucks
I'm sure Jane knows someone who might want to chase Spotify for your and others royalties

That doesn't seem just.
No, no it does not.
