@fribbledom premium? lol wat - ppl pay for yt? snortlaugh

@nf3xn @fribbledom with Spotify upping prices, yes.

@knigge @fribbledom you use Spotify? eeew 😀

@nf3xn @knigge @fribbledom streaming music is a very popular way of consumption these days. i'm glad you're making your own informed decisions about this but please don't belittle others for their choices.

@dxciBel @nf3xn
Shame happens to be a very effective tool to modify corrupt social behaviour. Spotify has demonstrated time and again that it is a bad-actor. If people are still choosing such platforms, the least we must do is shame them (just like we must shame the artists who choose to play within the discriminatory boundaries set by these platforms).

@prasoon @nf3xn yeah pal you try to be an artist these days without having your music up on spotify see how that works out for ya

@dxciBel I'm not at artist so, I'm afraid, I only know second hand that to make a living on spotify one needs to have a few million plays. I don't think small artists thrive there anyway. But, if you say that spotify is the only possible way for an artist to make money, I'll take your word for it.
I'll still retain my right to shame someone prioritising a living over ethical social behaviour, however. If we are really in a hopeless situation, as you point out, all I can do is protest anyway.
