I hate this so much.

If you'd like to support musicians streaming rights and fair pay you should support United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) who are actively working against Spotify and services unfair streaming policies.

Tell your Representative to Support Rep Tlaib's Resolution for a New Streaming Royalty!

Can you take action to create a new streaming royalty for musicians? UMAW has been working with US Representative Rashida Tlaib and he

#I stopped using spotify when they supported Tr*mp #Then everyone forgot about that and kept using it #And then I thought they were also supporting israel but maybe it was something else because I swear there was a new call to boycott them #Maybe it was ai related?#Boost #Streaming #Politics #Spotify

i know i make this post every time i use spotify for music again but spotify is so incomprehensibly bad and i think its a sign of evil that so many ppls response is ‘oh well guess ill pay for premium’ instead of swift and brutal violence against whoever made the decisions on how the free app would behave or whatever

like you cant just listen to an album (itll shuffle and add other songs) you cant listen to any song on demand, theres like a 2 minute ad break per every 2-3 somgs, itll give you ‘watch this ad and get a half hour ad free!’ prompts and then proceed to Not Do That, limited skips, etc. its almost UNUSABLE without premium, with literally the sole benefit being to use its bullshit shuffling intentionally to find new music (and even then youre tormented every few minutes by unbearable screechy voiced obnoxious ads). theres zero reason to use it instead of just downloading your own music, but its frustrating bc you know how good music streaming would be if it wasnt literally designed for advertisers. and we really shouldnt be okay with the future of media being like this.

#Spotify #Also I'm pretty sure they dpnated to the orange one?#Or maybe they had chik fil a ads and that association popped up in my head.#But yeah I stopped using them ages ago.

Weird how opening spotify in a web browser with a decent ad blocker allows you to skip ads just like would happen if you had premium. Sure hope no one takes advantage of that.

Sure hope nobody modifies the hosts file in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc to block Spotify ads in the app…

PSST! HERE’S A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO BLOCK SPOTIFY ON WINDOWS!

aw man I sure hope nobody learns to do that

that’s so messed up that people would do that

in fact, let’s spread it everywhere so everyone knows not to do that

and everyone knows exactly what to do so that they don’t do that
