That’s like saying visual artists shouldnt make enough money off their prints because people should go to a gallery to buy the originals as their primary income. So they’re supposed to not profit off their work, take time off their other job to travel all over just so they can FINALLY maybe make money?
That’s unreasonable to ask of musicians and artists.
You can use Spotify without needing to justify it to yourself. It’s okay. You can hate what they do and still use their product because it works for you. I bought something off Amazon the other day because I couldnt find it in the store. We all do it. It doesn’t absolve those companies of shitty behavior though.
I’m fresh back from a difficult Xmas with the Republican family, now checking Lemmy to relax, and gotta say your simply sane perspective is my biggest smile of the day. Appreciated.
