Well done. Let's hope it will make artists and users to abandon it and ruin it's motherfucker CEO.

@DBG3D @louisc why would it? Spotify sucks but how is it any better for artists if people pirate their music?

Do you know how much Spotify pays to artists on that platform? Do you know Spotify uses that same music to train AI to generate music that produces only profits for the platform?

Some artists make much more money from concerts and venues than from albums, they could release those for free if the wanted. As George Michael was trying to prove when he sued Sony.

@aronkvh i imagine if listeners took that money they would have paid to spotify and used it to buy one album a month on bandcamp or donated it to artists over ko.fi or a similar platform instead, then more money would flow to the artists.
