Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Others might pay more, but the point is, that Spotify pays so much more than what ends up with the artists.

Thank you, I didn't know that. I know that record labels have been screwing artists for decades... but I didn't know that Spotify was actually paying good money for the listens, it just doesn't reach the artist.

There's been years of anti Spotify propaganda. It's not surprising that it sticks.
