Of course, the next step would be to actually buy the albums you're listening to. But it's okay to start small and boycott Spotify now

That's really terrible 😡

I just literally pulled the plug on this scam operation a few weeks ago - I was paying more out to distrokid than I was getting back from all the streaming services combined.

Here's a link to the original Harper's piece. It's long, but very much worth the read.

They're terrible for music. Really, any competitor offers better options. And I know someone who refuses to listen to anything if it's not on Spotify 🧐

We see too many Artists that are just concepts or
Ghosts but not people. We're grateful when people actually FOLLOW Dean Evenson on Spotify.

yeah of course I’m 100% OK with the idea. but, as an ‘electronic musician’ acting on a niche genre, let me remind you that crumbles are still better than nothing… Bandcamp is of course a better ethical choice but if nobody’s buying your creations you can’t make it.
