International Orange @interorange.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Maybe sacrificing an abundance of choice to spend a bit more time and money directly on music they love would actually keep things sustainable and ringfence Spotify as the cultural abyss it deserves to be. 100
International Orange @interorange.bsky.social · 20/12/2024More of an issue is people who actively seek out music feeling like a Spotify subscription is their way of supporting the music they love. 100
International Orange @interorange.bsky.social · 20/12/2024It preys on passive music listeners who in the past would have just stuck on the radio. For them, it really doesn't matter who made the music and whether they got paid, in the past they probably never spent money on music anyway. 100
