Spotify is a blight upon music and it would be better for our culture if it would cease to exist - I have been boycotting these vultures and culture-vampires since day one but apparently I’m a big weirdo Luddite for that.

Buy music directly from the artist or on bandcamp, stop supporting Spotify if you give a shit about music

Without Spotify and the rest of the streaming services most of the people would just pirate music. I would probably spend less on music than I do now on Spotify per year.

They also wouldn't know about many of the artists in the first place.

It’s trivial to discover new music on platforms like bandcamp, soundcloud, YouTube or even Spotify and then go and pay for the music where it reaches the artists.

[goosejuice]

Exactly. I've spent thousands to that effect.

That's the point. YOu listen to shit.

You would still give more money to artists directly though — most artists get basically nothing from Spotify
