I'm sure that small to medium artists don't get fleeced by Spotify and get a ton of money from a service that almost everyone in the west is using. /s

    Some more things I'm sure of include that Spotify exists for the artists and won't sneakily replace them with Suno-generated shit at first opportunity or fuck with people's legacy of holy playlists or make the interface more cumbersome to alter users' habits, or increase the price until the frogs start jumping out. It's allowed to exists through the graces of biggest publishing conglomerates whose C-suite and shareholders get the lion's share. Fuck fucking Spotify.

    I'm sure they are on Spotify (which is shitty anyway) and other streaming services by choice. And if you are against streaming services, feel free to buy their albums.

    I use bandcamp to throw some cash at them, it's a fair offer and ok price.
