Spotify just gives a damn about musicians and the culture they are leeching off.
Just sad that they are the prime distributor of music to almost everyone I know and not services like Bandcamp.

The thing about art, IMO, is that it does a great service for humanity in giving us hope, purpose, and something to live for. When you treat artists as a cost to just minimize, you make it harder for any of them to succeed at making a living doing their work. I believe that the effects of the very low streaming royalty payments will have a chilling effect on professional musicians making a real go of it.
I’ll take Napster over this any day, at least they didn’t have profits at the forefront.
