"The CEO of Spotify thinks music is made for free and is his to sell, promoted as ‘content’. Please always try to buy records (‘vinyl’), cds, T-Shirts and go to gigs where you can afford to support bands you love."

@reillypascal Also, buy digital copies from Bandcamp, Faircamp, etc., because some of us are releasing straight to digital and not putting out physical copies at all
@dave_heumann oh absolutely, in fact a lot of what I buy is digital copies from Bandcamp
@reillypascal If you are in the U.S. please talk to your representatives about breaking up live nation and others - we are all being exploited there. We could also do with much better fee structure for venues.
@reillypascal it's true, there is literally so much content today it's impossible to keep up, I saw someone complaining that Spotify was recommending too much new music to them...
the biggest issue facing a new band or musician today isn't making amazing music, because there's so much out there, it's promotion
the other issue that's coming up is a sort of buridans donkey, there is so much content people don't know what to watch so they stick to pop music/tv/movies/the algo
@reillypascal Any musician here that can confirm, that #Tidal is less bad than #Spotify when it comes to paying musicians? I switched a few months back after reading a similar blog post, but never got an independent confirmation.
@reillypascal@hachyderm.io Yikes! I feel less guilty for using apps that leech off of a Spotify sub without paying for it. 
(I do buy albums on Bandcamp, since that benefits artists a bit better for now.)
@reillypascal I hate spotify, I have for years. I buy music, I rarely stream and I'm proud of it.
