@VeroniqueB99 And just a reminder, people are profiting from the concentration camps.

"...as of July 2023, 90.8 percent of people detained in ICE custody each day are held in detention facilities owned or operated by private prison corporations."

Unchecked Growth: Private Prison Corporations and Immigration Detention, Three Years Into the Biden Administration

Three years into the Biden administration, the number of people held in ICE detention continues to grow, and private prison companies hold an increasingly tight grip on the mass immigration detention system.

@PirateFrog If you can get past the way he pronounces Yggdrasil, this was a pretty good video, too:

This one has been going around for a long time from what I understand, but it's still super relevant. 😁

@serpentroots I just wish piracy wasn't so effective at killing record industry profits. I could really go for some new music right now.

@cbleslie @serpentroots These days it’s mostly Spotify that’s killing the music industry.

Show thread

Troubled Clef Jul 6

@schrotthaufen @cbleslie @serpentroots 100% correct. The consumers need to realize supporting Spotify for convenience, is conveniently killing off any new musician, band or producer. Soon they will be hearing Spotify playlists of AI created music by AI created bands, and I guess no one will care about that either.

@mylesw “soon”? It has already happened to me and is why I ditched them. Rediscovering the music I already own was a tonic for my ears. And I have allocated a budget to buy music.

@etp We, in the music industry, thank you.

@cbleslie @serpentroots Is this tongue-in-cheek? I can't tell...

Just in case, it needs to be said aloud anyway: piracy never even put the tiniest dent in their profit margins. And they just suck solely on their own merits with no one but themselves and their own practices and choices to blame. All they ever cared about was maximizing profits, so every single choice -- including what sort of music to make and how to make it -- has been made by calculating what would produce maximum profits.

Sorry, it just really had to be said just in case someone somewhere takes that seriously.

@nazokiyoubinbou @cbleslie during the 80s there was a campaign by the record labels with the slogan "Home taping is killing the record industry". This tape is from the punk label Alternative Tentacles and they're making a joke of how ridiculous it was.

Show thread

Nazo Jul 7

@serpentroots @cbleslie Yeah, I got the meaning of the OP. I just was uncertain about that post I responded to.

They're probably just being silly and playing along, but it's hard to tell. For every bad thing like major labels there are always people who believe all the rhetoric and stick up for them despite the horrible things they do.

@nazokiyoubinbou @serpentroots yes. Same with how the war on drugs was so effective you can't get drugs anymore.

@cbleslie @serpentroots Ok, just had to be sure.

There legit are people who will defend these companies with absolute seriousness, believing every word of it.

@cbleslie @serpentroots I hate to tell you this, but the record industry hasn't made "records" in years. The record labels that most confused with the music industry, are just big marketing agencies. They don't fund recording studios, or bands, etc. unless they are under contract to do so, and that rarely happens unless the artist already has 10 mil TikTok followers. It is a stupid system, and why you only here the rotation of the "oldies” now.

@serpentroots Easy fix. Stream everything, pay $0.003 per stream to the top 10% of the streamers and screw the rest. Then swindle them by creating fake AI bands with fake AI music, and push that out as the preferred playlist. Musicians? Who needs those pesky musicians. There's your solution. What could possibly go wrong?
