True or False? Having constant, unlimited access to music through streaming platforms like Spotify can make it feel less special or meaningful. If true, do you think owning music on Web3 platforms can strengthen your personal connection to the artist and their songs?

I think it is true, but misdirecting with the phrase. It is true, but the feeling of "special" and "meaningful" goes beyond Spotify or not, Spotify like any other medium is a tool for content delivery & discovery now. Monetisation is secondary. I think it is more like an strategic decision as an artist. If you want to know if your music has potential and people want to hear it the best ways to test reach is launch them in Spotify. If you have some audience already and want to create something special for them or get higher amounts of money capitalizing on your actual community (now that you already have it) the best way is to go with direct, special relations.

Sure, Spotify is one of many tools, but its design choices, like endless playlists and algorithmic discovery, encourage passive consumption. That can dilute emotional connection over time. Saying it’s “just a tool” overlooks how tools shape the way we use and experience art. The medium influences the message. It’s also important to remember that Web3 isn’t just about monetization. It can be a way to build community. Framing it as a method to squeeze more money out of fans misses the point. A better way to think about it is as a new way to create meaningful, direct relationships between artists and fans from the start. But I don’t think web3 has done a good job at this yet
