    This is completely unacceptable. I’m paying nothing and I want more from the service or else I’m taking my freeloading ass elsewhere! If all you other cheap bastards join me, collectively we’ll show these corporate bigwigs and they’ll be on their knees for our unpaid usage to return.

        Let me get this straight: you’re taking pride in bootlegging content? How can you just laugh about shamelessly stealing from artists you like?

          Fucking LMAO

          if you seriously think that artists make any money that matters from Spotify you have been drinking the corporate koolaid mate.

          Artists who do make money out of Spotify are already multi milionares and do not need it.

            So if I understand your position correctly, you feel entitled to free content because the artists already have what you have determined to be enough money?

              What a way to misrepresent my argument, holy moly.

              I don’t feel entitled to anything, never said so in any way whatsoever. You are only claiming that because you argue in bad faith.

              Let me spell it out for you: artists who need money don’t make a living out of Spotify. They make pennies on the dollar. They make money from patreon, merch, deals or if they are famous enough, concerts.

              People who do make enough money to (in theory) make a living from Spotify are millionares already.

              If you think millonares need more money you are delusional.

                Again, if I reformat your argument, what you are saying is that it is better to not pay musicians at all through services like Spotify or YouTube Music and continue to steal their content, regardless of how famous or rich they are. Unless I have missed something, that is the essence of what you are saying.

                    It’s ironic that you’re suggesting I’m arguing in bad faith while it’s you that is endorsing theft and piracy. My only goal here is to help you identify your hypocrisy and sense of entitlement; I am taking your words and you are getting upset because you don’t like the way it sounds.

          I think the artists are paid better and fairly in other platforms like bandcamp or by concerts. The amount they get paid in Spotify is so low, regardless of whether their listeners have the premium subscription or not.
