          Are you trying to say that took no effort? Instrumental went hard and the talkbox would have taken some time to develop progression. Especially in the 90s, where digital music technology wasn’t widely available. Today, a song like that would be no big deal but at the time, “Around The World” was much ahead of its time.

              Thanks, I read Wikipedia for an hour a day and that was probably the most interesting biography yet. Mostly I just read about places around the world and musicians.

          That is far more complex than you would imagine, as is most Daft Punk music. Their sampling is pretty amazing. They do things like take nanoseconds-long samples and put them together into something musical. There are breakdowns of their songs on YouTube and it’s very impressive stuff.

      So what? Of absurdly the whole user base of Spotify got into white noise overnight and ditched music and voice podcasts, where’s the problem?

      Users still pay for the premium/family subscriptions, and it’s only fair that creators of the content most listened to are rewarded proportionally.

      So you didn’t read the article posted by *checks notes* you?

      Besides, why should you get to decide who Spotify pays out to? Why are you so worried about whether a giant corporation makes more money?

        Tbf there are a shitton of severely underpaid independent artists on Spotify that make a laughable amount of streaming revenue. They’d at least somewhat benefit from a higher $ / stream rate

      So what? They wouldn’t be removed if people didn’t want that kind of content. Most media is junk. I don’t really see how this is unique?
