If you stop trusting companies after they've done one bad thing, which companies do you feel like you can trust?

If you think Spotify has only done one bad thing, you're delusional.

There's mountains of evidence that shows how they regularly fleece artists. Just last week this site hosted a story that researched how they're now using AI to generate fake music to avoid paying artists even further.

They pay a fortune to Joe Rogan, a man who is willfully destroying the country by spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.

This company is responsible for so, so much damage.

I don't doubt that, but for all major companies you'll be able to find a long list of bad things they did.

Could you source this, please? I've missed it.

70+% of revenue goes to pay licences, a lot of artists have bad deals with their labels and get shafted from that revenue, deals like labels taking 50-70% of the licencing deals, historically it has been extremely common for labels to shafts artists, way before the internet age.

> misinformation and conspiracy theories

Do people still fall for this FUD?

If you have actual arguments, please list them. Otherwise don't insinuate with far-left dog whistles.

They never backup their group think.
