   Fuck. This is insane.

   Edit: Weird Al is a comedian. Apparently, he is exaggerating for comedic effect to make a point.

     @reay @tofugolem @stux what if we could just pay our favorite artists directly ... 🫨
     
     Weird Al is semi-retired now that he's out of his terrible contract situation he was stuck in, but I hope he gets inspired again and releases new content independently

     @tofugolem @stux Once more for those at the back:

     QUIT SPOTIFY.

     Give Deezer a shot. Still not great payouts, but that’s not really happening these days anywhere, and at least Deezer comes with less unethical baggage (see also: Joe Rogan controversy).
