Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio

  Let me get this straight: you’re taking pride in bootlegging content? How can you just laugh about shamelessly stealing from artists you like?

    Fucking LMAO

    if you seriously think that artists make any money that matters from Spotify you have been drinking the corporate koolaid mate.

    Artists who do make money out of Spotify are already multi milionares and do not need the money.

      So if I understand your position correctly, you feel entitled to free content because the artists already have what you have determined to be enough money?

        What a way to misrepresent my argument, holy moly.

        I don’t feel entitled to anything, never said so in any way whatsoever. You are only claiming that because you argue in bad faith.

        Let me spell it out for you: artists who need money don’t make a living out of Spotify. They make pennies on the dollar. They make money from patreon, merch, deals or if they are famous enough, concerts.

        People who do make enough money to (in theory) make a living from Spotify are millionares already.

        If you think millonares need more money you are delusional.

    I think the artists are paid better and fairly in other platforms like bandcamp or by concerts. The amount they get paid in Spotify is so low, regardless of whether their listeners have the premium subscription or not.

      That may be true, but the comment I’m replying to is endorsing bootlegging content and not paying artists at all.

  I have a solution for Linux, but what can you do on a mobile os? is there like an unofficial android .apk somewhere?
