I’m so Tik’d that I’m officially TOK’d off at @spotify and @danielek. (Find me on TikTok @adamlayneandersen https://www.tiktok.com/@adamlayneandersen?_t=8hOxdkbzo6A&_r=1 When explaining why Spotify doesn’t pay artists much, if anything at all, the CEO’s explanation is akin to every pyramid scheme boss, think Bernie Madoff. Tell me if this sounds familiar: “um, yeah, so…it’s super complicated and you’d probably never understand the math or the equations. It’s really tough to explain right now, but trust me, you’re golden.” Find Daniel Ek’s recent 60 Minutes interview on YouTube and tell me I’m wrong. Alls this dumb southern boy knows is that my fellow musicians are NOT getting PAID. Not only that, the perceived value of music is eroding to the point where very few musicians can record their art, nevermind buy gear and afford to live in culturally rich cities like Austin, Nashville, Chapel Hill, Brooklyn, San Francisco, Madison, Charleston, Chicago, Atlanta, etc. #DeleteSpotify https://www.change.org/DeleteSpotify
