I like how artists that are fighting for more money are the ones that don't need it. I would understand if indie artist came out and said something, but for people like Jay-Z and Beyonce to be this money hungry. It's just obnoxious.
Also that blue is hurting my eyes.
They have every right to fight for their work and paid for what they deserve. Spotify is making a killing off these artists music, while they're the ones getting the short end of the stick. But, with all that said I still won't be paying no damn $20 dollars for some Tidal.
This is intended mostly to help the SONGWRITERS because of outdated laws from the last century before Streaming could ever be possible, preventing them from being paid barely anything. This is moreso helping songwriters, majority who are struggling and live off how much their next hit will make them.
It's art and it's someone's profession. When you go to the movies you pay the people who are behind the movies, when you eat as restaurants you are helping the people who own the restaurants and work there, when you go to a store you are helping the people who own the store and work there even though some are filthy rich and some are filthy poor. You pay for what you consume. What exactly is hard to understand?
And if you really think that these goliath names shouldn't be getting your money, support smaller acts.
I feel like they still need a free service even if that means hella ads and skip limits or a student price a la Spotify at least to persuade people... But on the other hand, I'm sure people would just ignore the $20 option UNLESS they offer exclusive content with that package only. idk
If they pull their music off Spotify, I'm going straight back to *******s. I rebuke the $20.
This is exactly how their main target audience will react, should they pull their catalogues off of Spotify. The general public finds music important, but not that important.
I mean, when y'all refuse to pay for music because the artist themself solely it makes no sense. It's like going to eat at Red Lobster and saying 'I'm not paying. Red Lobster is rich' and paying no mind to the waiters, chefs, servers, and etc who actually are under that establishment and need the money. The same is with music -- there's songwriters, producers, engineers, and others who don't have a near fraction as much as money and aren't earning a fraction as much money. The music industry is an entire industry, not solely artists.
& personally, that's not even why I pay for Streaming. The ads and lack of proper mobile experience is too unbearable alone. Anyone who puts themselves thru that.
LMAO, you people are greatly overestimating Spotify´s importance. They are doing this because they want it to be profitable and get money, not to kill Spotify
Uh, they are already worth millions. They want more money?

You guys are talking like you don't already give tons of money to your faves that don't need it, but you do... buying the albums multiple times, buying merchandise and tour tickets... if you're going to talk about how these people don't need more money, don't be a hypocrite.
