Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Damn, spotify truly is a scourge to artists.

Yep, spotify pays a fraction of what napster, tidal, and apple music pay while raking in record profits each year.

Yep, it is a legal streaming service now.

The entire music industry is built to grift money from musicians and Spotify is a second layer of musician grifting industry built on the first.

You know what, you've convinced. Your specific suggestion of 'guillotine' was particularly compelling.

Sony, Universal, and Warner. The three parasitic conglomerates that own the rights to almost all popular music between them.
