Comment on YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party.
Why are you paying these oligarchs at all? Pirate your music
Well, I’m not opposed to paying for a convenient service that gets money to the artist.
Of course, the more they enshittify and mistakenly believe they are indispensable, then yes, the more I return to the high seas.
Btw, afaik we are now at a point where artists earn next to nothing from streaming and make the bulk of the money from tours, shows and the like.
Most of the money from your streaming subscription goes either to the service provider (Spotify, Apple etc) or to the major label.
I feel you. Yeah I think I’m out on streaming services. They killed the golden goose.
I’m going back to 1984. XD
