Boicot a Spotify - Marxem juntes el 30 de Gener

Llancem una crida a artistes, discogràfiques i oients dels nostres territoris per marxar juntes d'Spotify el dia 30 de Gener. El CEO de Spotify, Daniel Ek, ha invertit prop de 700 milions d'euros a Helsing, una startup armamentística alemanya que fabrica tecnologia militar amb intel·ligència artificial. Per molt que la tasca sembli difícil, fem-ho juntes. No serem còmplices de la massacre i l'extermini.

@WtebbensWouter Tebbens ⁂ Was talking about Spotify with colleagues and even at the usual rate it seems like it would be more worth it for small artists to not upload to Spotify since you'd likely be undercutting what you could make selling tracks on e.g. Bandcamp + social media.

If you want to grow your audience then Spotify might make sense but only if you know that you're undercutting yourself in hopes of growth. Even then, having a cult following may be more powerful.

Should small artists boycott Spotify?
