"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Wildly disrespectful to any artist that ever lived. I'm all up for sharing alternatives that are good/better towards actual artists. Still evaluating my choices, but meanwhile this seems like the only and rather easy signal the streaming community can give as to spread the word if they agree (next to stopping your own subscription).

It’s not a high horse. I’m a human that made a choice to support artists the best way possible. When you pirate music or stream it, you’re diluting the share of profits that go to the artist. It’s really that simple. There’s no reason to pirate music or stream it if physical copies are always available. Hell, buying the album on BandCamp to receive a digital copy is also available.

Buying albums > Pirating most and buying some albums > streaming

It's about pirating or streaming IF you can't afford to buy. Do you see the if there? I don't know how I can be clearer, you aren't even reading what I'm saying.

If you can’t afford music you don’t deserve music. It’s not a need; it is a want. You can live without wants until you’ve saved up enough money for them if you’re an adult.

So they will stay on Spotify and the artists get less than in my "pirate but support a few" scenario. Congrats, your lack of pragmatism at the service of streaming. 👍
