It’s also horrific animal abuse. Actual atrocity.
6·8 days agoNot with the same dollar!! You can only spend it one place. The more dollars you’re spending at Spotify, the less of your money goes to the artists.
Getting the artists more money is ALL about not using Spotify.
Excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking what they’re selling.
Your self-destruction doesn’t hurt them.
Your chaos won’t convert them.
They’re so happy to rebuild it.
You’ll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking what they’re selling.
Excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking,
You’re drinking,
You’re drinking what they’re selling.Spotify loves you for this. And the artists can’t perceive it.
Maybe I’m being too subtle? Most people see your comment and what they read is, “I was SA’d as a child.”
Oh I’m sorry, is it only okay to be shocking and offensive when you do it?
I am all for you having the freedom and platform to humiliate yourself. I absolutely support this.
5·14 days agoSooooo… he’s NOT leaving YouTube?
That hardly seems like sufficient reason to humiliate yourself like this.
why are you sharing this
I never noticed there was a “right way”. I see now that there is an ISO standard that is used for (eg) traffic control signs, but that alone doesn’t make the other way backwards in situations where someone has hand-drawn a sign.

the last time i got a landline rather than pay to get it unlisted I asked to have it listed under R. Shackleford. however there was a miscommunication and my listing was entered as R. Shacklesord. i was annoyed at first but when I started receiving unsolicited mail to R. Shacklesord (that i knew to immediately throw away) i thought it was pretty cool. when i got a call for Mr. Shacklesord i always knew i could fuck with whoever was on the other end of the phone. looking back on it im tempted to start using fake names everywhere all the time. they only get used against you.

If you don’t drink, don’t drink.
3·29 days agoI think the distinction between data acquisition and data application is important. Consider the parallel of photography; you are legally and ethically entitled to take a photo of anything that you can see from public (ie, you can “scrape” it). But that doesn’t mean that you can do anything you want with those photos. Distinguishing them makes the scraping part a lot less muddy.
Yes. Piracy in the sense of stealing from ships in international waters is different from piracy in the sense of copyright infringement. Thanks for that.
Are you saying that the mere action of scraping is fair use, or that absolutely anything you do with the data you scrape is also fair use?
An “off” switch… She’ll get years for that! Off switches are illegal.
It’s a rigged game. It’s like you’re at a casino. It doesn’t matter HOW you play the game, the casino wins. The way to beat them is not to engage with them at all. Established capital exploits the artist and the audience alike. You have to work outside the system of coercive control to have a meaningful effect that doesn’t just get turned back against you. Giving the artist more incentive to stay in an abusive situation ultimately helps the platform more than the artist, as compared to spending the same money through a direct channel.
