    How to quit Spotify: a guide from Brian Merchant.

    He's gone with Qobuz, a platform that I'm also running with. I'd love to try Coda, as they claim to give artists the most money; I've listed my favourite music-streaming platforms on a page: garden.pivic.com/music/music-s - please let me know if I've missed a good platform that treats musicians like human beings.

    While places like Spotify and Tidal are overrun by AI slop, Qobuz feels *clean*.

  2. Spotify used to seem like a necessary evil for musicians. Now it just seems evil: theguardian.com/music/2025/jul

    'Ek isn’t paid a salary by Spotify – he takes a share of its stock, last year alone cashing out a reported $345m. So here we are, artists helping to build algorithms to sell our music – and the success of that algorithm determines the flow of wealth to a man who invests in building machines that could kill people.

    In recent years, we’ve witnessed the horror of AI drone wars in Ukraine and Gaza – children killed and hospitals destroyed with the press of the space bar. Ek is investing in technology that can cause suffering and death. Spotify used to seem like a necessary evil. By association, it now just seems evil.'

  5. This year while you spent thousands of minutes giving Daniel Ek more money to withhold from musical artists and invest in military AI technology, Spotify spent another year not paying the intern they stole the concept for Spotify Wrapped from
