#spotify – @folatefangirl on Tumblr

Fangirling and Writer-Nerd Chaos

I'm Cinnia, late 20s, she/her, a fan of the health sciences and many other things, and a former quiet kid who was abducted by the theater people. This blog is a semi-queued experiment to vent my endless energy for fandoms, LGBT+ content, writing, languages, religion analysis and ExMormon content, dancing, mental health, etc. I also run the Grate Scoff food blog as well as the Incorrect Rings of Power and Incorrect Thornfruit Quotes blogs.

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.

This is a link to write a letter urging your state representatives to support UMAW & Rep. Tlaib's H.Con.Res. 102. Below is a link to their website with other ways to support them further!

No but you're right and you should say it.

It is overall indicative of how Terminally Online these freaks are that they think the release of Spotify Wrapped would be part of some geopolitical conspiracy. This is not something an offline person would ever conjure up. I can assure you my mom has no idea what Spotify even is.

Saw these tags on a post that wasn’t mine and they’re correct

And just to clarify: Spotify Wrapped was released the Wednesday after American Thanksgiving. Same as usual.

This tells us something about the terminally online (which all of us can be, at times):

  1. We can fall for the illusion that posting genuinely shapes the course of real world events.
  2. Feelings of moral urgency overwhelmingly override any instincts to fact check.
  3. Netizens have no immunity to propaganda. Every aspect of the Spotify Wrapped Conspiracy should have triggered a “hmmmm” reaction. The steps to verify the claim were all obvious and free.

I don’t want to alarm anyone who reblogged that, but please know that was one slip down a pipeline.

Be careful next time. Think about why that post seemed believable.

  • What ideas and ideals did it manipulate?
  • How did they blend fact (Spotify is morally reprehensible) with conspiratorial thinking (secret cabals pulling strings) to give a lie the cloak of truth?
  • Why did the grandiosity of the claim sneak by you? What made you believe the OP?
  • What gut reactions did you listen to or perhaps ignore?

If you reblogged that post, your trust and innate goodness were manipulated and abused. Protect yourselves.
