You know what I meant, don't deliberately misunderstand.

"Had been lit", was it like a stick of dynamite?

That pays exactly $0 per stream to the artists.

Daniel Ek is investing in European defense companies. This is not unethical.

Spotify paying like shit to their artists and platforming Joe Rogan are totally valid reasons to move away though. But the thing is that Spotify is sort of like radio. How much did radio pay for artists for each time the song was played? Genuinely asking.

What I do is I do 90% of my listening on Spotify. Then when I hear something really good, I buy and download their album, usually on Bandcamp and mostly keep listening them on Spotify because it's just so much lesser hassle. Seems like the best of both worlds. Thought about going to vinyls but I'm not hipster enough.

A lot of people in Lemmy want everything to burn down. They seem to think that bringing everything down to their level means victory.

Yeah. They have 14 million undocumented immigrants currently. Like 4% of the population. A country like USA can sort of cope with that because they don't have a heavy social security system like we tend to in Europe, but 4% is still quite a lot.

What's an undocumented tourist?

Just try to make a better car than Tesla. Seems like that shouldn't be so difficult, given how much their cars suck by general opinion.

There are communities in here that are brigaded in such a way that when you post there, you get dozens of downvotes immediately.

Perhaps voting should just be removed from Lemmy?
