annual reminder that you had all fucking year to complain about spotify and how shitty they are to artists.
if you wait till december when your friends are gleefully sharing all the beautiful music they listened to all year, and decide *now* is the moment to be shitty about spotify, you aren’t being radical or progressive or whatever. you’re being a thief of joy and, more relevant, *you are harming artists, not helping them.*

the worst thing you can do for musicians—especially indie musicians—is to make people feel bad for talking about music.
word-of-mouth is all we fucking have, people.
find literally *any* other context to complain about streaming services.

seriously.
talking about music and musicians is awesome! a lot of folks i never hear a peep about music from all year, until their yearly wrap-up shows up and suddenly they want to share all the great music they spent the year listening to!
as a musician, it fucking *hurts* to see folks get all morally self-righteous about shutting down these discussions because “they’re an ad for spotify”. PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT SPOTIFY but they might not know the indie artist sitting at 12 on their friends’ list.
