Union of Musicians and Allied Workers (@UMAW_): "Last year we launched spotifyunwrapped.org to expose just how little Spotify pays artists. Spotify's legal team demanded that the site be taken down."

    IP is kind of bullshit anyway. If you are able to make a few cents from IP you've already earned more than you can absolutely demand. If you make a few cents more than that you should be grateful and stop complaining.

    this is the type of idiotic bullshit ive now come to expect on any thread here at this point. even one i wouldnt have expected it on. good work!

    I agree. True story a discord server I briefly belonged to got angry with me for leaving Spotify after the Taylor swift temper tantrum I stand by the boycott. I didn't leave for her music I think she's crap. She's a c maybe d level talent at best. I left because I'm a fan of the tragically hip and when Taylor pulled her stuff it pulled most of my hip discography. But I don't regret leaving Spotify for Apple music. To be fair though the gen z bitch in the server was from Quebec and was doggedly determined to find a reason to hate me for being from Ontario.

    Yeah I agree. As much as I hate their hate. If you're going to make me feel your inherited bias because of your parents maybe we should have let you brats separate.

    I used to have to fly to Montreal 3 or 4 times a year. It took me 2 trips to figure out how to outsmart the Douanes bitch and avoid the little white room for 2 hours. I was not there on business. Oh, no. I was there on vacation to visit my cousin "Pierre". Worked every time.

    Lol. I maintain this thing from the discord server(I refuse to use it's proper pronouns regardless of what they were and if it was them/they I'd still go with it as I don't believe) just wanted a reason to show malicious bias towards me for the sins of past prime Ministers that I might not have elected. We're not our parents. We're are our own people.
