The company driving the industry is paying the worst. This race to the bottom only harms artists, who are left to deal with the poverty-wage payouts. We need regulation for all streaming services! We need the LWFMA!

Spotify’s rigged system devalues music and the artists that create it, and it needs to end. This “Perfect Fit Content” exists to replace human artists with anonymized, automated noise. Read the full article by @lizpelly.bsky.social here: harpers.org/archive/2025...
