Please don’t give #spotify your time, attention, or money.

Please don’t give #spotify your time, attention, or money. They hate musicians. They hate record labels. They hate you. They love money. They’re generating fake slop and stuffing their playlists full of it. They do it deceitfully by making up artist names and putting the same track out dozens of times under different names, different artists, and different playlists.
And they’re making artists pay (or accept lower royalties) in order to have any hope of appearing.

@paco This goes for podcasts too. I've actively not included my podcast on Spotify because of the many issues with the platform.
I know this can limit the podcast's reach and growth. That's okay.
We can make intentional choices about where we put out our work.
"Available on all platforms" is an act of concession.
(Podcast is https://www.implausipod.com btw. Available at select locations.)
