  • just wait till they ruin it like linux memes with femboys and socks and other garbage :(

  • is this a genuine question?

  • So you cancelled spotify because they stopped supporting a product that you didn't own?

  • They make far more when you buy a CD

    Who the hell still listens to CD's? Lets take a look at how much money they were making when CD's were all the rage:

    Oh right, it was declining massively because people were pirating MP3's just like Lemmy users earlier suggested.

    Vinyl record sales are outdoing CD's:

    or go to a concert'

    Just fyi there's nothing clamping you to Spotify, I've had Spotify since June 2012 and been to plenty of concerts since then

    large rightsholders who already have wealth taken a massively disproportionate amount of that

    Then listen to smaller artists? The more you listen to them the bigger their share the more money they make...

    last reply ...

  • Well I mean I pay for Spotify because I listen to a shitload of music, I would probably be #1 in all of Lemmy easily, podcasts and audiobooks are just nice things to have for me :)

  • I support artists more than the pennies spotify pays them

    Wrong

    Spotify has reported a record payout of $10 billion (A$15.4 billion) in royalties to the music industry for 2024, marking the largest annual payment from a single retailer in history.

    And it's not pennies, you pay ~$15 a month, of which 70% goes to labels, 30% goes to Spotify, that's $10 a month that goes to all labels and artists.

    Artists I like I’ll buy their merch, go to their shows, etc

    Oh now you mention merch and shows, good one.

    If you want to leach music for free by pirating music and spitting in the face of artists do it, just don't think you have any moral high ground.

  • Massive Attack led the charge by directly criticising Daneil before requesting removal of their music.

    Been a month still here?

    The group joins King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof and Godspeed You! Black Emperor in abandoning the platform entirely.

    I have no idea who these bands are

  • Their CEO supports a company that bombs kids in Gaza. Should I say more?

    No because you have no ability to do basic research but good job ONCE AGAIN on not being able to do anything without spreading gaza propaganda.

    Helsing said in a statement: “Currently we see misinformation spreading that Helsing’s technology is deployed in war zones other than Ukraine. This is not correct. Our technology is deployed to European countries for deterrence and for defence against the Russian aggression in Ukraine only.”

  • Out of all the music streaming services, spotify pays artists the least

    Actually they pay the most

  • Oh! They recently added audiobooks to the main app, every month I get 15 hours to listen to audiobooks included free with the subscription! that's pretty cool :)

  • Unlimited music, podcasts, free audiobooks, works natively on linux (something most others don't), only $15 AUD a month (which is about 1 subway meal so not a lot), European company, gives billions to artists every year... etcetc

    Why wouldn't I use Spotify?

  • No support for artists?

  • what? is this an american specific meme?

  • true but it’s pretty clear cut 😁 women overall prefer cut vs non cut

    Database searches identified 29 publications with original data for inclusion, including 22 for aim (i) and 4 of these and 7 others pertaining to aim (ii). In the overwhelming majority of studies, women expressed a preference for the circumcised penis. The main reasons given for this preference were better appearance, better hygiene, reduced risk of infection, and enhanced sexual activity, including vaginal intercourse, manual stimulation, and fellatio. In studies that assessed mothers’ preference for MC of sons, health, disease prevention, and hygiene were cited as major reasons for this preference. Cultural differences in preference were evident among some of the studies examined. Nevertheless, a preference for a circumcised penis was seen in most populations regardless of the frequency of MC in the study setting.

  • +1 LM Studio, so easy to use and so powerful

  • It's a tough one because it's way better to have it done as a child than an adult, way less pain and women prefer it

    I'm super happy mine was done as a baby but I've not seen any like, mass movement of guys getting it done wishing they had it done when they were kid, would need a proper survey for that, if you could go back in time and get it done as a baby would you?
