Did we discuss avoiding #Spotify recently, at least as single source of access to music? Guess it's same as everywhere else: Fair payment and "cheap access" are mutually exclusive. If you care about diversity in music, about a healthy and thriving community rather than just a mass market of industry music streamlined for fast success, support artists that matter to you also by helping them make a living...😔

"And now, to make matters far worse, starting in 2024 Spotify will stop paying anything at all for roughly two-thirds of tracks on the platform. That is any track receiving fewer than 1,000 streams over the period of a year. Tracks falling under this arbitrary minimum will continue to accrue royalties – but those royalties will now be redirected upwards, often to bigger artists, rather than to their own rights holders."
Spotify made £56m profit, but has decided not to pay smaller artists like me. We need you to make some noise
