Cancelled Spotify. One of those things I'd allowed to roll far too long for no good reason (not paying attention), and the "ghost artists" stuff has made me feel particularly unfriendly towards the platform. harpers.org/archive/2025/01/th…

@fredbrooker I suspect he will cope without me.

@hankg I already have Apple Music which is my primary service, but I shall also be self-hosting, likely something like Jellyfin. I prefer something cross-platform where possible.

@mlanger I'm sitting in a hotel lounge listening to a bunch of generic no-name covers of Christmas-related tracks and it just makes me realise how it's all being reduced to background noise with no value, which makes me sad.

I’m a slave to the system. If I don’t release on Spotify, I lose a big chunk of my audience. And I’d have to give up all that tasty barely breaking even.

never paid for it, think I set up an account years ago will probably delete that too.

You weren’t outraged enough by Spotify paying hundreds of millions to Joe Rogan?
in reply to Andy Piper

And you ended it. Which is good. More people should know about ‘ghost’ artists, how bad Spotify pays, and that they sponsor people like Rogan.

Woop, congrats! 🙌 I did the same last year and curating mixtapes (@mixtape) of Fedi artists is what came of it. Short post-Christmas hiatus at the mo but the next one is coming soon: nham.co.uk
