Because you’re still listening to their music ? Do you buy the merch of thousands of producers who make ambient music? Do I need to have the ambient track hit me in a way that all the others don’t before they are worthy of being paid?
I duno, how do you guys find new music to listen to?
Sometimes I’ll just put a playlist on with 1000 tracks in it, maybe a couple I like, most are ok, some of them i skip, in my world they all get paid, in your world only a tiny tiny fraction of them do
just how rich do you think i am? you think i can afford to go through 10’s of thousands of back catalogs trying to find the music im listening to to buy?
There used to be plenty of music stores where you could listen to the music before you bought it. They all died because of Spotify. Good job supporting an industry that killed physical media, pushes AI “music” to the masses and enables Nazi podcasters. Nice fucking Job.
Also, Go to Bandcamp. You can listen to all the music there. Then you can decide to buy the music and in return you get to download the FLAC files. Most artists even let you decide how much you want to pay. You come off as someone who’s never taken a step out into the world and just gobbles everything up that is spoonfed to you.
I download and then I buy the actual physical media releases from the bands I like. Lots of bands even release their own music for download.
what about the bands you don’t like? I assume they subscribe to your free with no ads and no money plan?
wait why should my money go to bands i dont like

What an absolutely batshit insane take.
No, you shouldn’t be paid for making something nobody wants. Same reason I think everyone who works in AI should have all their money taken away.
how did you to come across as a fuckstick and somehow not read what i said
Why would anyone download and listen to music they don’t like…?
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6048DIIHRMegUg0IHm7T5m
How do you propose I recompense all the artists on this playlist for example?
That’s 8,902 songs
Yeah that doesn’t look anything like my playlists.
I typically find new music through recommendations from friends, through other media (games, tv), youtube or radio.
They’re either a troll or stupid, imagine going shopping and paying for everything you looked at or touched.
Acting like Spotify is good for artists at all is just insane

The same way anybody did before Spotify? Listen to something, if you like it then buy it, if you don’t then don’t.

god damn boomers
How much have you spent paying Spotify to own absolutely nothing?

You listen to music you don’t like…?
