    Fuck Spotify. If you don’t want to be a 40 year old and buy albums, Deezer and Tidal pay much larger royalties than Spotify.

        Broadly speaking, people aged 40+ still sometimes buy albums, but most young people mostly just stream.

      I actually hate to say it, but I switched to Apple Music the moment Spotify paid joe rogan 200 million dollars.

      Obviously Spotify has money to pay artists, but they’re choosing to screw them. They’ve really high-balled a nobody
