The idea is maybe we can find a way to make Spotify look as bad to listeners as it is to us, while asking them to go look for our music in places where we actually could get paid for it.
How?? We enshittify from the bottom up.
Sabotage! I think there are 3 ways.
1) Treat Spotify as a place for free samples. Only a track or two from each album is there, listeners can find the rest.
2) Only put music up for periods of time. Thatβs how they do it with movies and TV on streaming!
3) Just publish snippets of songs
Iβve thought about it and I think we should sabotage Spotify low-frequency.beehiiv.com/p/let-s-sabo...
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.
Community radio should be the Internet's center of gravity.
Social media sucks because it's literal work and work sucks.
You're not living until you're winding through Appalachian mountain roads, listening to a station low on the dial.
All this and more in my newest blog post yet.

Spotify was archived by Anna's Archive 2 days ago. When the company starts filing lawsuits, remember this bit from the book "Spotify Teardown": Spotify *exists* because of bittorrent, and because it began ... *with an archive of pirated music*.
I see your cat is possessed by the Christmas spirit
there are metal ear wax removal loops you can grab. horrifying to think about actually using one in your ear canal, but itβs perfect for those little candle divots.
Woah thanks for the heads up
Hell yeah thank you!
Glad you dig! I played keys and synth.
Man⦠this was entirely the point of my old band in Chicago from like 2015 to 2018 but we never released anything. There are a couple things on YouTube youtu.be/mOIhwBaHgE0?...

absolutely cursed property. anything short of returning it to death by audio/285 kent/glasslands (or equivalent) will result in generations of karmic haunt to all future tenants & their parent corporations.
If itβs something you might be interested in down the line, there are ways Iβd be happy to help. Iβm currently attempting to do some stuff not exactly similar but proximal with non-commercial community radio
If I could be any cat Iβd be my cat.
THANK you
Just chiming in here, I know cc fees make paying by the article a pretty bad deal for pubs, but Iβd love to see places like Hydra offering a bundle where you pay for 10 articles at a time and use up a credit with each one you read. Bet plenty of those folks would convert to subscriptions too.
on the verge of being back in business
You canβt be doing stuff like that
And if I only could / I'd BCC God / I hope this finds Him well
Just sent a follow up to God
Sheβs not doing well Pat
Congrats Nathan!
Iβm hungry
