They complain about Apple and yet when Apple released an open API so music services or apps can tap into AirPlay2 (for multiroom streaming to non-Apple devices, and HomePods, and AirPort Expresses of which I have several) way back in 2018, they are yet to implement it. People on the spotify forums have been clamouring for it for years. My podcast app supports it even. Spotify said they would do this a few times, but here we are nearly 6 years later. So Spotify forced me to use Apple Music instead. Which sucks for them, and it sucks for me. Also, their Mac app when installed runs at launch on every startup. It used to by default use the microphone to listen to audio in your environment to know what song is playing nearby (even from the radio in the room!) luckily they no longer do this - however it's super invasive still. If you're not signed into a spotify account, you CANNOT disable launch of the app at login every time the computer boots. You have to be signed into a spotify account and only then can you access the settings, and hidden under advanced you'll find allowing spotify to launch minimised at startup, and you set that to no, to stop it loading. Just very user hostile.","like_count":46,"author_id":"UCvPk14ITR8zEu6JJIyT8AkA","author":"@syniteq","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/o_F1bUIosBEi-GVX1GZ25bzZ19Wu1gJBW5BjE-eDzG6a6SKSyWvAGHqyWyt7bkC5u6Plb6WGAA=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@syniteq","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgxXeqxbYQ3wSOhwwTd4AaABAg.A16iIh8nqmuA1Lif1adHny","parent":"UgxXeqxbYQ3wSOhwwTd4AaABAg","text":"@Wi2Low Apple is welcome to not sell there if they don't like the rules.","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCIONl_ud6ktrmdgARQagtlQ","author":"@danmerillat","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_lQREma58KQ015GYhgW0zGGDcO5ehsdKAvs0NbC20s=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@danmerillat","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago (edited)","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgxXeqxbYQ3wSOhwwTd4AaABAg.A16iIh8nqmuABqNRkF3oGY","parent":"UgxXeqxbYQ3wSOhwwTd4AaABAg","text":"Yet forcing people into a concentration camp if they had the coofie coof was.","like_count":0,"author_id":"UChXEhLVRPC0Df_JlhqZTWZA","author":"@charlespancamo9771","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_nspOsTSamNj0y-PPtCxi_dLjrzu6MKDPux2Xcl3-cqoi3a3KTrnVdMRxc3I3eEbQVJnQ=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@charlespancamo9771","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"1 year ago","timestamp":1759363200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgxXeqxbYQ3wSOhwwTd4AaABAg.A16iIh8nqmuA1A5N2e2_UM","parent":"UgxXeqxbYQ3wSOhwwTd4AaABAg","text":"Spotifys policy is universal (here in the states too)","like_count":13,"author_id":"UCHHL5SY5M-98Fc1JV6CsBxw","author":"@evangoodrow","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/S5JrIjvNmugCS7tuAbCjRELE94gajQsfZqPXb_j54LKeMxOSiZeAM6h-0LYrdxOYiQKGxx1MKQ=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@evangoodrow","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugz0J_NzTFE_JKGEwRl4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Spotify erased all my music after 5 years and hundreds of thousands of plays claiming fake streams.

This can last decades, but eventually it will crash.  But what corporate executives learned in the 2008 bank crash was that as long as the whole industry crashes at once, the executives get to keep their jobs and bonuses.  So now pretty much every industry that isn't too closely regulated by the government runs on this model.  Execs who keep the illusion of growth going keep their jobs.  Ones who care about actual profits don't.  The illusion can come from manipulating the investment funds (the Blackrock strategy) or from tricking investors directly (the Elon Musk strategy) or both (as often seen in the gaming industry).","like_count":26,"author_id":"UCoVpALE1SfsrqhJfZZOzBsQ","author":"@Bacteriophagebs","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_mlAFGRDde-3aPprn1BcJmDL9MtXJlhKZHjRwngOno=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@Bacteriophagebs","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgyMGHh6gysM6NcJAbV4AaABAg.A15F3Kh_16aA18xM8CG6kl","parent":"UgyMGHh6gysM6NcJAbV4AaABAg","text":"Until someone finds a way to add microtransactions and loot boxes to Streaming, then the Gaming industry will still be worse.","like_count":4,"author_id":"UCo-a5bXPKyGQh0smXPCDhew","author":"@anonnymouse2402","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/sxtMtBfhiQb1ty52sxZcGcvrR0oCO_6mPv2sd_974SW0b4Hmni3OTfXbpHFrKPTalGGfxNGUvA=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@anonnymouse2402","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgyMGHh6gysM6NcJAbV4AaABAg.A15F3Kh_16aA1BWkliyUeO","parent":"UgyMGHh6gysM6NcJAbV4AaABAg","text":"Just to be clear, it's only negative value because the corporations are siphoning off the inherent value.","like_count":3,"author_id":"UCuWduei2r6oG5YCj0_nl5_Q","author":"@gavinmillar","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_npsAiZu_bNeNcIUxAbYg9NqtFkqaQLC8G2HipJIchZ4AE=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@gavinmillar","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgyMGHh6gysM6NcJAbV4AaABAg.A15F3Kh_16aA19iAqk9sh2","parent":"UgyMGHh6gysM6NcJAbV4AaABAg","text":"Music Publishing has always been the \"mob.\" Literally!

So, that's what the term \"negative value\" means. That's one reason (but not the only one) why 73% of the musicians in Benn's survey paid more money in distribution fees than they received in royalties last year. Now, I do think there's something wrong with payout amounts, and wherr that cutoff line is, because too many middlemen and investors have their hands in that pie. Those people havr an even larger drag (negative value) on the system, but somehow those are the very people the system caters to. And also, the negative value artists actually DO pay the difference - they pay more to distribute the music than the profits they receive. Whereas, the negative value middlemen and investors keep taking and taking. Many of those investors (labels, for example) sure seem to have weaseled their way into that equity stake. And then, as owners, they gave themselves favorable terms.\n\nIOW, it's the usual situation - once somebody has internalized the ethics of capitalism, then you shouldn't trust them. It's possible to exist in capitalism without internalizing its ethics, but it's rare - most people who claim such are lying for profit, maybe even subconsciously. It's understandable and forgivable and will be our culture's downfall, because a time will come when that trust will be necessary for the culture to remain, but we won't be able to.  For evidence, look at societies that quit without there being a decisive foreign invasion. In the past, culture often hinged on natural conditions that, when changed (prolonged lack of rains, for example) imploded society's power structure.

I'm no fan of how much of a scam music distribution platforms are, and artists certainly don't get their fair share, but I'm left feeling that there is more to this story than is being told.  It would be great if you could open the books with some transparency about it.  Anyway, none of this matters to most artists.  The reward is making content and doing it for the pleasure of making the art.  Not everyone wants it to become a cash cow. In fact sometimes mixing money with your passion can really undermine the joy in it all.  But yeah.. totally agree Jobs wasn't the golden boy everyone thinks he was.

That's great. 🙄\n\nIt's hard to believe the pre-millennial record company model that has been mostly supplanted by streaming services, itself deeply flawed and deliberately set up to withhold all but the top selling artists with good lawyers etc from their profits, was actually less harmful and exploitative.\n\nFortunately, it's a lot more plausible to get your own records pressed, based on music you've made yourself with the bare minimum of tools (a few mics, a preamp, a laptop running a DAW) and it sound good, polished and listenable, so perhaps artists should go back to physical media and avoid the entire circus of BS that comes with labels and streaming platforms altogether. Seems like you could legitimately make more profit from fewer units shifted, and keep most of it too. \n\nThis video made me think, gee, are we musicians or accountants? It seems like too much of the latter, detracting from the creative part of the former. Maybe that's why so much modern music is bland, simple dross after all - it's hard to write nuanced, cleverly arranged songs with sophisticated melodic structures when you're so busy balancing the books 😂\n\nYes that's right, anyone who's bothered to read this far, I went there.

I still find it absolutely hilarious that Spotify had to threaten a very small independent artist that received about 25,000 streams over one month, was that even barely $10 in royalties?. This also leads to a revolving door for small independent artists, if you start off with low numbers and grow they say it's fake but then if you keep the numbers the same or grow they \"learn\" that is not but you already have a warning against your account so if they want to strike you again they can then just nuke your entire catalogue.

It was hardly yacht and private jet level but it was fun and gave me a living for a while. After that, I worked for EMI as a house engineer and witnessed the death of big studios (with a couple of exceptions). I worked in the Abbey Road of my country but it was sold to SAE in the 90s and became a money pit for the parents of aspiring engineers. The music industry has always been one of the most amoral, criminal adjacent worlds around. Probably on the level of casinos or brothels. I moved to marketing in the 00s (digital production) and found marketing a more ethical and humane industry than the record industry or the wider music industry. Which came as a surprise to me, even though it probably shouldn’t after 10-20 years in ‘the swamp’.  Again, with notable exceptions. The one positive I can see here is that the exploitation is now so egregious, and so blatant that in a world where people can compare notes and organise virtually there’s a chance musicians and non business types may be able to break out.

This is not sustainable in music??  How could it possibly be sustainable in anything else??   It's time to distribute ownership / remove middle men / middle corporations / middle shareholders / and nationalize ownership of industries we give a damn about... [and industries where a profit motive leads to perverse outcomes like prisons and weapons manufacturing].

So the large labels/publishers are effectively running the same business model as they always have? Effectively saying, if you want high number of streams (aka record sales), sign with us - else, take your luck with the algorithm and entry baseline requirements in order to get paid!  Seems similar model to paid ads on google search results or \"featured\" products on Amazon. \nWe need a meritocratic solution. We have a separation of independent artists and music provider or distributor, but no separation between labels, who represent a relatively small number of artists, and provider or distributor.","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCTohbXq4CFKuMvhfGQiINMw","author":"@PianoDentist","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_miac1EwweAUnHIPZun5xDCYgPxopKjR9HngqIAf1_nNg=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@PianoDentist","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugwd7LbAycs8WJaS9c94AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"I have all my music in mp3.

For the last hundred years, the entertainment industry has been glorified slavery. Why is anybody surprised? Everybody on the planet has a job. Everybody on the planet hates their job. And it's your whole life. And then there are some people who want to play for a living. That's like double lucky. Not just, you don't have a job, but you get to play, you get paid for your hobby. And the alternative is to just have a job, which is an absolute torture your whole life. So why is anybody shocked that, of course, people who want to have this double lucky life, will be willing to put up with any kind of abuse. The film studios and the music companies are only taking as much as the artist allow them to take. not one penny more. the greater the value of something. The greater the cost. What has greater value in life than not having to ever have a job. like being a billionaire trust fund kind. not to mention a whole another massive benefit. Triple Lucky. that you could be famous, which is what the human herd-animal brain is absolutely addicted to for evolutionary reasons. I am shocked that the financial abuses in the entertainment industry are not 10 times worse. given what they offer, at least theoretically. and nobody was forced to upload anything anywhere, to agree to TOS, or to sit on any casting couch. it's a free country. garbage collecting can pay 80k with overtime. and it's a vital service to the world, unlike a synthwave track. And while we're speaking some truths that should be self-evident. How about the hypocrisy of the millions of YouTube videos decrying these underhanded practices by the entertainment industries? grift is nature. If it's not nailed down, it will be taken. That's the nature of biological life on this planet. in fact even inorganic, throughout the universe. electrons get stolen all the time. The entire platform of YouTube is absolutely based on absolute grift. And I'm not talking about the platform itself. Again, it's shocking that they give as much as they do to the so called creators. I'm talking about the 'creators'. Show me the average video of any popularity that is not appropriating other people's images and content and brand cachet and music and and videos. this very video contains quite a few. They were taken, for free, to create this piece of content, to monetize this piece of content. Was the  Steve jobs video licensed from Apple? How about the many logos of different companies. Were those created from scratch? the pie chart? All taken and no compensation given whatsoever, because it can be taken. It's not nailed down. So, dear outraged youtubers. whose lives are, like, so much harder than jo-blo 9-5's. maybe try looking in the mirror once in a while. go through your video catalog and leave in only what you created or paid for. no regurgitated wikipedia and news, no 'inspired by other videos', no images from google, no video or audio clips. and no brands/celebrities/etc in clickbait titles. what are you left with?","like_count":1,"author_id":"UCaECw9VK1U4MkTMFt42pzbA","author":"@vizzwizz","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_kGVbv793nd_ZK3TJWO2jpRuQeLn6507upxVNSRdvlCGQ=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@vizzwizz","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgwOzu7elwKM6q70PNl4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Hey Ben, you have any friends at CD Baby?

After all, we end up paying way more in subscription fees than a one-time purchase.\n\nI just took one band, The War on Drugs, because they're big enough to play stadiums but not big enough to be a household name and they sell their CDs for $12.98. That's a pretty cheap CD for those who don't know, but I'd have to stream their album 250 times for them to break even. I'd have to stream their album every month for 20 years for the artist to break even.

Oh oh....you are so perfect and righteous in every belief you have....sorry I didn't mean to offend you.","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCHPVRGF08dELHwOmN8hiHVw","author":"@in_10z","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/dk1Yfbx3AMsmOdymP3MswkqKnfp5qHTAl0-PlSPTOyUo_OJyQEwHRpKwSPV2LMGiixHGIrJ_xw=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@in_10z","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"UgxZgVWRGTuxYa1OGV54AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Good thing we voted for a guy to gut the CFPB!","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCjt3P8IJ4FxLqah8YnXk6_w","author":"@Factless_Wonder","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/7gxW8oT1EXWgcK-MdcCODfheFWlm1BYX-LkAvBWpfNfryaJJ_pPr1JNjwi26CKQH9eBhPcarNA=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@Factless_Wonder","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"1 year ago","timestamp":1759363200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugw2omQ6gZCOT5Zgsrd4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"How would a lesser artist deal with / recover from this?","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCMun64jgc2HXTTRLWgdntvA","author":"@elliotcrane","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/p_XVES2C5fM8EP--yubhZeaExnI8lMB5yP1H_4fjb410MuvLkwuQQQT4rMVPplq1YwzA-zM7Tfk=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@elliotcrane","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugx3f1QVTvUppO7cXzZ4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"The machine has made a decision to destroy you.

The music business is over as we remember it. I think for now that each artist must have a Patreon for direct distribution as a subscription service unto themselves or do what Radiohead did, give the music away with an option to pay your own price to download the album. Otherwise, making albums is what must end, because if there is no music to pirate, then there is nothing to steal and or profit from by some middleman scum.  \n\nImagine what I just said. There's no music on any streaming service!  Nothing new to listen to, and even anything old either since the artists still in control of their catalogs pull them from every source, and forbid even radio stations to play their music, gutting any formatted playlists. Yeah it would be horrible, but how long will it take for things to be negotiated until it's fair again?

If fake listens can make you a profit, then Spotify has a big problem. Therefore, they put measures in place to make botting more difficult, so that it's impossible to make a profit thus disincentivizing botting. Once the total returns are below 100%, it's mission accomplished: no more royalty theives. \n\nBut as soon as that total return number flips from 101% to 99%, Spotify instantly turns from the world's lamest money printer to the world's best laundry machine. The system will continue to be attractive to launderers for this reason until they somehow push the cost of botting so astronomically high that botters get 10% or less of their investment back, at which point criminals will start looking elsewhere, but that is so much more work than the original anti-botting effort to get the number from 110% or whatever it was down to 100%.","like_count":0,"author_id":"UCup9mZFnQItnQuLvVm0UaIQ","author":"@icedragon769","author_thumbnail":"https://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_nSe_maWpqYwGUuTHeZkNNiglIbTlgbfkZUUO4Sw38=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","author_is_uploader":false,"author_is_verified":false,"author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@icedragon769","is_favorited":false,"_time_text":"2 years ago (edited)","timestamp":1727827200,"is_pinned":false},{"id":"Ugydhp2TL2rjub1nHwB4AaABAg","parent":"root","text":"Industry kills art\n\nedit: their war on bots reminds of the DEAs war on false adderall sales.

At this point I can hear the difference between a stream (even over WiFi with stream quality set to whatever the max is) vs 192kbps mp3 ripped from cd and converted via LAME. And that is over Bluetooth! I am using LDAC to a FIIO BTR 5 and KZ ZSX buds, so good gear, but what gives? Even setting the Bluetooth to 909kbps does not sound as good as using the BTR5 as a USB DAC to play a 192 mp3. I would think with about 4x the bitrate there should be no audible difference. In case you are thinking more power over USB, even at the maximum level I listen at, the BTR 5 has 30db more gain before it maxes out, so I am literally using 1/1000th of its power, and plugging in external power to the BTR5 does nothing for the sound except occasionally adding noise from low quality power supplies. All the loss, and therefore all the change should be in the compression to 192 mp3, but it isn't. Then I pull up a 320kpbs mp3. Playing that over USB sounds like what I remember from 20 years ago when I bought the CD. But even that doesn't explain all the quality change! Many songs have been altered for streaming. Some actually admit they were \"remastered\" which really just means they compressed all the dynamics out while trying to make it sound \"the same but louder\" probably using the speakers in an iPad Pro as studio monitors. But they often don't even admit they did this. It is just suddenly not the recording you played a hundred times when you were a teenager. That recording is gone forever as best I can tell. (A few still exist in collections like the 20th Century Masters.) Damn I wish I had never sold my vinyl. As best I can tell, the music of my youth was bought and either negligently or deliberately destroyed in a failed attempt to make a buck. If you think this is complete BS, check out when Michael Jackson and his recording engineer sued the record label over remastering \"Bad\". The label lost, but today you can't even stream the non remastered version. What you can stream is only good if you never actually heard the original on even mediocre equipment. Paradise Theater is another victim of remastering. The into used to be about 20db below the peak, but now the music hitting is just weak sauce. Artists should be able to preserve their legacy, not have it \"remastered\" into blandness. Its like the real Mona Lisa was replaced with a knockoff Andy Warhol print. It's not the same. It never was.

He is some high up tech guy from Google, Apple etc. of course they spoke about AI, and not only is AI stealing work from artist, (painters, drawing and the like) but Ray himself is working on a AI that makes music. So for instance, the company Midjourney and similar platforms can draw a picture based on what ever u ask it to do,“make a blue car w/eyes and arms in cartoon fashion”. U get the drift. Well what these platforms do is download MILLIONS of pics and as per your request consolidate s the pics into what u asked. So long story but Ray said he is working on doing the same for music. He says that they will be able to tell AI, make a pop song written in the style of Arianna Grande. And it will. However he said it will be perfected within the next few years!

Spotify is perfectly within is rights to look for fraud. In the EU companies are even required to do so and again you admit yourself that the platform is being used for money laundering. That tunecore overreacts is between you and them, not Spotify or tidal or any of the others. \n\n2. Music is essentially worthless (sorry that hard to hear i guess). There is more on Spotify or any other service then i could ever listen to. Limiting payouts to only people that actually have a noticable contribution on the platform doesn't sound that bad to me. No different then YouTube having requirements for channel monetization. \nIf an artist disappears there is always another one. Now i get that you and other artists don't like to hear that about the things they worked hard on. But it's the truth. In the next few years more and more will be produced by Ai. I will still be listening to mark Knopfler, but the next generation?, those will listen to made to order ai generated \"music\" for whatever mood their in. \nYou, me, eventually tools and Ai will replace a lot of our work. Accept it. Actual love performances will keep their value for a while.

I don't listen to your stuff, but it sure sounds like mass production. You are now upset that your stuff has triggered Spotify's spam filter, and as a result, the gravy train is coming to an end.\n\nDo you think Spotify is wrong to clean up their platform (and thus censor you), and you want damages?\n\nOr do you think Spotify is stupid for removing quality content and hurting their own business, and this is the reason your rage?\n\nGoogle says that since 1999, your music has been released under the names of the Flashbulb, Acidwolf, Human Action Network, and FlexE. (I guess twenty three are attributed to your \"Flashbulb\" brand name)\n\nSorry buddy, at first glance, you are an easy money opportunist, describing yourself as \"musician\". This attitude offends me, and while I don't mean it should be enough to justify censorship, the fact that you're dedicating your efforts to \"working the system\" rather then contributing something valuable to society (genuine music created for the love of the art), means, to my mind, that you should not call yourself a \"musician\", nor waste my time with your entitled complaints.\n\nSome of the tinkering you do on youtube are interesting, but tread lightly when attempting to be considered an \"artist\".
