1. Spotify: El Villano Corporativo y la Ética del Consumo.
La plataforma de streaming Spotify es señalada repetidamente como una entidad explotadora que desvía los ingresos de los artistas hacia inversiones cuestionables, incluyendo tecnología militar de IA y publicidad para agencias gubernamentales polémicas como ICE. Esto ha provocado llamados generalizados al boicot y la cancelación de suscripciones.
- Spotify, if you cared a bit about your artists or your customers, youd divest yourselves of your military-industrial complex connections and genai investments and spend that money on paying musicians what theyre worth.
- Pirating music is more ethical than paying for spotify. Spotify pays artists basically nothing...
- I hopped off spotify once i learned the ceo was investing the money into ai military missile drones. Now theyre running ice ads? yeah fuck spotify.
- Spotify is running recruitment ads for ice which use the derogatory term illegals to describe human beings.
2. Bandcamp y el Apoyo Directo al Artista.
Bandcamp se consolida como la alternativa ética preferida, destacando por su modelo de negocio que garantiza una mayor porción de las ventas a los músicos. El evento mensual "Bandcamp Friday" es visto como una oportunidad crucial para el apoyo directo a la música independiente.
- Its because of practices like this that the only music service i use is bandcamp. They only collect like 15 of money from an album sale, and one friday per month, its 0.
- If you feel bad for pirating, remember that buying one album on bandcamp or we is more money for the artist than a lifetime of listening for spotify.
- Its bandcampfriday - where they waive all their fees for bands and artists.than means more money in grassroots music!
- I wish more artists i know would upload to bandcamp i wanna throw money at you people and you dont let me. Wtf.
3. La Realidad Financiera del Músico y las Alternativas al Streaming.
La industria musical actual obliga a los artistas a depender de giras y venta de mercancía (merch) para obtener ingresos significativos, ya que las regalías por streaming son insignificantes. Se debate la ética de la piratería como un medio para evitar financiar corporaciones explotadoras.
- The music industry today is designed to separate indie artists from their money. Dont fall for that.
- The audience is being atomized is it. Its why musicians have to tour perpetually and sell merch to earn money, because they cant sell music in any meaningful way.
- My hot take is that music streaming services pay so little to musicians that its just as ethical to pirate your digital music and spend the money from your spotify subscription buying merch from your favorite bands.
- I buy physicaldigital releasesattend shows when i can and id rather give money to the musicians directly rather than encourage an exploitative company like spotify drip feed pennies for each song streamed amidst a sea of ai music.
4. El Dinero como Tema y Motor de la Música.
El concepto de dinero no solo domina la economía de la música, sino que también es un tema recurrente en las letras, reflejando tanto la crítica a la avaricia corporativa como la necesidad de subsistencia de los artistas.
- Qotsa you think i aint worth a dollar. Pink floyd money radiohead dollars and cents pet shop boys rent juliet turner take the money and run warren zevon lawyers guns and money live version recmnd tori amos professional widow madonna material girl.
- Money so they say is the root of all evil today just as apropos now as it was 50 years ago.
- That aint workin, thats the way you do it money for nothing, and your chicks for free.
- Jessie j - price tag its not about the money, money, money -- keep the price tag take the cash back.
