Before anyone balances on my tits saying 'i use it for X or Y', just read.
Ive wanted to talk about this for so long & seeing everyone cum out what theyve listened to over the year has sparked this
Streaming doesnt help artists at all, only ones who sell millions & tour with high mark up tickets. They already make money.
In terms of smaller bands, it cripples them to the point bands dont gig or even just stop being a band altogether
Seeing GNOD post a fans collection of vinyl, they said about streaming not bringing in anything. Theyd prefer fans bought something, because that helps much more.
Thats true
Just because streamings easy or convenient, doesnt mean its convenient at all for the bands sweating out the music that is provided
Sure you discover music you like, but do you 'support' them?
Do you appreciate them by only streaming?
Do you care about what you are listening to?
Its a lie that streaming helps bands.
Aye, you may discover something new or interesting. But that money *you* pay a streaming service a month doesnt go to the artists.
The money is squeezed out like a stubborn cyst on your ass, only trickling out the most pitiful amount for a ridiculous amount of plays
Ive dont have Spotify, my own
@eruers isnt on it, nor on many other platforms. Some of thats political, some because of shitty tactics
When COVID was rampant, the CEO of Spotify [a person who donated millions to the military] was urging more artists to post more music on the platform for "exposure"
FUCK YOU & YOUR EXPOSURE!!
That does not feed a person or their family. That doesnt help the many talented bands who are pushed aside due to the fucking algorithm
So please, calm down the streaming & support the musicians & artists you like by buying music.
They have done so much to get this music out, the best you can do is support them
FUCK STREAMING, FUCK YOUR LISTS!!
