Just finished. Strongly reinforces that deleting my Spotify account recently was the correct decision.

Great read if you love music and are concerned about platforms and their impact on artist’s ability to earn a living wage.

Well the book makes a very compelling case that a one-size-fits-all platform like Spotify creates an environment that is near impossible for newcomers/indies to break into, made even worse by the algorithm prioritizing PFC (perfect fit content) that is created expressly to reduce the amount of royalties paid out to said artists. It’s a real mess. We need platforms where subscribers end up directly supporting artists instead.
