@flipp and then people happily pay their music ransom every single month knowing its probably not going to the musicians they love but actually the pockets of executives and fascist podcasters. what a world

@nano They're not struggling to pay musicians. They're just... Not paying the musicians. They could, but they don't, because the musicians aren't leaving.

@nano because they are shit, though I use spotify with adblock. not premium tho, premium is a waste of money imo, specially when streaming has used hardly any data for me.

@nano @eviloatmeal it's because the Big 3 record companies take most of the revenue.
