We waste intelligent minds on this rubbish when we are facing an existential crisis in climate change.
I have 500Mbps in Spain. Is it that bad in the American cities or is it only like rural Montana that has these speeds?
They are on the side of the aliens.
I find it slightly sad that when our leaders talk of Technology and Innovation - they often mean these 'tech' companies that essentially work out how to better sell advertising and occasionally provide a useful service alongside this.
Where is the Bell Labs? The Skunk Works?
We have incredible problems facing us such as Climate Change and decarbonisation seems like it will be a very difficult challenge. And yet we focus on banal "innovation" in frivolous things.
It's revenue share based on how many streams you get. Big record labels can probably negotiate a better share, but if you sign to one there's no guarantee you will actually see that extra money.
Record labels ripping off music artists was incredibly common in the time before streaming, so I imagine it still is today.
It's revenue share with the record labels. If those labels don't pay the artists well that's a different issue.
It's not like the artists got most of the revenue from CD sales either. Artists being scammed by record labels was so common it was almost a meme.
And yeah they agree to revenue-share because it's much better than the alternative of piracy and no money.
I think many of the people complaining don't remember what is used to be like when you would pay £10 per album.
They haven't had anything interesting to watch since Squid Game. This Black Mirror season had like one good episode.
But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?
Meanwhile the Americans drive around their massive trucks, live with constant central AC etc.
Nice try, FBI.
There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
Usually you check this sort of thing before releasing it...
