Joe rogan sucks and his fanboys suck but he shouldnβt be censored either. Making a big deal of it is giving him exactly what he wants, attention.

bottom line: if an artist does something you like, give them money.

Streaming platforms give small, independent artists an opportunity to grow their fan base and work up to a tour, which is where most musicians make their actual money. Like most people itt I downloaded music before streaming and I show my support by going to shows and buying merch. They could still be paid a reasonable amount though. Exposure is bullshit anyways, if it's good enough word of mouth will spread.

Exposure is everything my guy. The Beatles got exposure and they suck, Death rocked and they never got a fair chance. I understand itβs different now with social media and shit but the principle still applies.

cancelling/censoring everything is a quick fix and will make zero difference to anything in the long run. we've become unable to rationally have a discussion about anything because everyone is so worried about saying something wrong and getting called out. it's like we're going backwards as far as communication is concerned, no wonders so many kids have such huge egos now adays, it's hard to be yourself and to be honest and open and that's not a good thing.

But yeah, streaming platforms should pay more however streaming platforms are also not making money.
Itβs almost like the recording industry model that directs most profits towards executives doesnβt actually work and it is slowly crushing the artists. π€ but if record labels donβt take most of the profits how will all those poor executives afford to buy a second vacation home in Miami with their live-in escort mistress????

i don't give a hoot about dumb shit rogan says. spotify and apple music are great conveniences and have prob led to me supporting more bands.

Less than like 10% of the English speaking population can name 3 earth wind and fire songs while about half of it can name 3 Beatles albums.

the most ethical move is to buy an ipod classic and illegally download your music from soulseek

I feel like there's some sort of twisted irony in Rogan and Trump both being reality TV dorks in the early aughts who now wield significant power with an entire political party.
Like, did we get to where we are today because so many of these conservative dingbats spent too many afternoons unemployed, sitting at home watching mid-day Fear Factor/Apprentice reruns?

OK but how is exposure on an app that basically has the entire history of music going to significantly help an independent band? There's a difference between being on the Ed Sullivan show in the 60s and being on an app playlist lol.

I've read that there are several hacked/free versions available (Spotify ++ is one I saw recently). I'm too lazy to research it myself so who knows.

The difference is pretty apparent to me. if youβre using bluetooth, there is no difference given the applied compression. if youβre using the web browser version or the windows version, you also arenβt getting loseless quality. you need a genuine set up to tell any sorr of difference. if anything, youβre experiencing more of a placebo effect than anything actually significant.

The difference is pretty apparent to me. I mean el doggo is right in that Bluetooth's bitrate is capped so if you're using (most) wireless headphones, you aren't hearing the full benefit of lossless audio. That said, I think lower/unpaid tiers of Spotify stream shit at a terrible bitrate, and you can definitely hear the difference between a 128kbps mp3 and a 320kbps mp3.

Only had Spotify for a podcast and that turned to shit and just became non exclusive anyway.
Never liked how Spotify had a volume cap.
