what are you thinking remembering back that far? you’ll run out of memory

who remembers what happened back in 1th grade?

Ok so you are dumb, welcome to my blacklist 👍

G’day G’day

The USA is in a unique financial situation as the worlds reserve currency which allows them to borrow pretty much endlessly (because other countries want their money), bit of a quick video on it here:

Is the US Dollar Losing its Reserve Currency Status?

Are you pretending to be dumb or are you actually dumb?

You assumed I was talking about Cuba, you got it wrong and said I couldn’t read which is rude.

‘they’ refers to the thinktank

Apology accepted

since when does cuba have 8 billion dollars laying around

edit: nvm they want the rest of the world to pay for it 🤣

yes and they’re all wrong, from the linux losers who pirate and then rarely if ever buy music but virtue signal like they buy music on the daily to the bandcampers who have the music discovery capabilities of limewire and have to spend significantly more time finding music to listen to

wrong about how much spotify pays out because they don’t know the calculations behind it

they complain about low payouts while simultaneously using spotify free/ad supported which is bottom tier in payouts to artists, there’s even posts here linking to ways to ad block on spotify free so instead of artists getting a tiny bit they get nothing? and they’re preaching to me ???

they’re wrong about timelines, record stores and software support

what a pain i can think for myself 😮‍💨

the only one i’ll give credit to is qobuz but fuck me are they vegan cunts about it, nyeh im using qobuz because i’m better than spotify users nyeh

i am not most people, as you saw i listen to a shitload of music, some i like, some i don’t, some im ambivalent about, i support them all the same

you can see my listening stats here https://www.last.fm/user/ikt123

Spotify is the only subscription I have and I find it immense value supporting artists and discovering new music

ty for asking :)

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?

god damn boomers

how did you to come across as a fuckstick and somehow not read what i said

It also pays artists much better so… Yeah.

I can’t see any free tier, does this mean you’re telling the OP and all free users of Spotify to get fucked?

It’s unofficially done by some Devs in their free time

For all intents and purposes it’s the same client, I see no difference between the ‘official’ client on Windows and the Linux version

compares tpb to spotify 🤣 fark these boomers so out of touch

damn you’re so mad, you should demand a refund for all $0 you’re paying them

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

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

I can’t find anything on this at all

Damn your memory really goes like this

1. People going down to the record store to buy CD’s

2. <this page intentionally left blank>

3. Spotify :D

You really missed out a whole decade of music piracy and CD sales falling through the floor

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.

Incorrect, the answer we were after is Napster

Today, Spotify accounts for roughly 30% of recorded music revenue.

More artists get more money from Spotify than from anywhere else

Last post from me, I’m not here to educate every left wing boomer
