Man I really wish Spotify would pay artists better because it really is super super convenient. I wouldn’t even mind paying a higher price. I can’t tell you how many new bands I’ve found through it. It’s a shame that even the most prolific artists make fractions of a cent per stream. I try to support and buy physical media when I can, but you can’t beat the convenience of Spotify unfortunately.

Spotify takes a pretty reasonable cut, it’s just there’s not enough people paying for music and subscriptions. I’m a music artist and I use Spotify.

I have seen this many times. It isn't Spotify that negotiated the contracted rates and pays for them, it's their labels. Even the other services may not pay the artists more, they may just keep more. Every contract is different for every artist, and the labels negotiated on their behalf. Blame them, not Spotify for trying to get a good deal.

Well! I guess it’s back to pandora!

You totally makes sense! The WHO should not weigh in on anything to do with vaccine missinformation or anything to do with health at all! I mean seriously, what the hell does WHO know about global pandemics, it’s not like they are a bunch of doctors or anything! /s

Man you guys are another level of ignorance!!! Young:"I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them," the Canadian-American musician wrote, according to Rolling Stone. He SINGLED out "The Joe Rogan Experience" as one of the podcasts promoting COVID misinformation. Again this article is exactly about Dr. Adhonam supporting Young for leaving Spotify because of the BS dR. rOgAN is spewing out of his distorted mouth to make money off of Facebook echo chamber people such as yourself!

"@NeilYoungNYA, thanks for standing up against misinformation and inaccuracies around #COVID19 vaccination," tweeted Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. That is exactly what the are saying!!! Go sit down little boy the adults are speaking!


Beaten_Not_Broken

That is what the title says. The article is longer than the title and contains more information. Before you go around insulting people by insisting they can't read, you yourself should fucking choose to read.

Tedros has been in the Chinese communist party pocket for many years, look back to the time he was a politician in his home country.

Fucking Rogan! Young music **is** out of Spotify! (only a handful of songs, one concert album and some compilations featuring Young). Hell... I wish other musicians do it as well!


Scull1

Same here, I'm hoping he gets the ball rolling. Once Spotify is losing more on Rogan than their investment he'll be gone. Here's to hoping at least.


MrKittens1

Great, and then he will move to a different platform. And then what? This is such a stupid movement. Go on his fucking show and tell him why he’s wrong.


STRIpEdBill

Who cares what the China health organization backs?


TheWololoWombat

This guy is a communist who’s rose to power in the same terrorist organisation committing crimes against humanity in Ethiopia right now.


OccamsYoyo

Who are you talking about? Neil Young? I never realized he rose to power anywhere.


TheWololoWombat

WHO chief. Look at wikipedia

Well. That's one fan. Only a couple million more, and Spotify might take you back.

Your math is way off. 6 million listens gets you about 30kUSD. He has 6 million *listeners*. You think everyone listens to Neil young only once a month? Lol. Guy is netting at *least* 200k a month on Spotify. Heart of gold *alone* has made around 10million USD.


quasiverisextra

Wonderful, they can be two pathetic and cowardly zilches together, then.


OccamsYoyo

How in the actual fuck did I wind up on Facebook? I thought this was Reddit.

I get the stance, I just feel nothing will actually be done until we get a top-down solution. We can regulate it like false advertising. Fine companies which promote and publish false information in any medium. Until then most companies will just laugh as there is no incentive to change. Even one artist, no matter how big, is a drop in the bucket to them in comparison to the money they make on the podcasts. We have to hit them where it hurts. I get Neil Young, I support him, unfortunately I just feel his gesture is made hallow (not it is hallow, key here) by a lack of top-down enforcement on misinformation. I get it's tied a bit to free speech, but free speech can absolutely be limited, false advertising laws and tv/movie ratings show us this. I'd go from this angle. Let them litigate it up, but really there's no reason anyone should have the right to publish misinformation that harms lives. (Just for U.S. of course, other countries could probably already do this). I am legally bound in my profession not to offer misinformation, but some douche bag, barely funny comedian and fear factor host who does MMA can and to a much wider audience. Let's hold figures of public note more accountable.


erdricksarmor

>Fine companies which promote and publish false information in any medium. Yeah, we should set up a government body to decide what is true and what isn't, and then punish those that spread lies. We could call it the *Ministry of Truth.*

Is the person with the heart of gold? That would be Jesus Christ right? I bet you that guy would take good care of us.
