Aint shit been stolen. it's willingly given. Spotify doesnt have to buy their music, they dont have to let spotify use their music. They paid for it this year, they're letting artists know ahead of time, hey we're not paying that price next year. And there is zero obligation for the artists to continue letting spotify use their music next year.

    I now completely understand how artists get ripped off.

    Youre almost gleeful in it. You sound damn near excited not to be paid for your work. Its like you think your work isnt worth the money.

    Is it, like. A fetish thing? Some domination kink?

    I do get paid for my work and am well aware of what my work is worth. Not what I'd like for it to be worth, but the reality of people spending money on what I make.

    Thats an odd lie, as youve already stated that you do not value art paid for on spotify if it isnt popular enough.

    People have spent money on this art, that spotify is now refusing to pay for. You have repeatedly stated you think that money isnt deserved, despite being paid.

    Why are you changing the story now?
