Time for a Spotify Boycott? Look, I love Spotify. In my opinion it’s the best music platform out there by far in terms of play list building, user experience, catalog, etc. But I want artists to get paid.

What the fuck is up with the Spotify UI? I’m not here to dispute that Spotify is an absolute treasure chest for music lovers (not to mention an incredible feat of legal and logistical maneuvering).

As a growing independent artist on Spotify, I must say Spotify’s de-monetization change for smaller artists is extremely disheartening After I started releasing my music almost 16 months ago, I finally got to 25k monthly listeners on Spotify. I’ve put in hundreds of hours of work every single month (and this is not even counting the thousands of hours I’ve spent in the past 15 years into honing my craft and music skills) and now I’m finally making a few hundred a month off Spot…
