Bood rec: #moodmachine
It's fantastically researched and educational.
I didn't need any more reasons to hate #spotify, but I am glad to have learned all these things.
Dear musicians, it's time to quit!

“It proved to them that they’re not a music company. The’re a time filler for boredom”.
“They’re filling people’s time. Apple Music, Amazon, these aren’t our competitors. Our only competitor is silence.”

If you want to listen to #Spotify guilt-free, do NOT read @lizpelly.bsky.social #MoodMachine. Incredible reporting insanely detailed eviscerates the company and entire streaming eco-system. And published before worst of the fake band AI shit. And before #DanielEk went AI weapons crazy.
If you haven't yet checked out Liz Pelly's remarkable book Mood Machine, this film is your entry point. I speak at the 20-minute mark, but I suggest watching the entire film—there are perspectives from Horsegirl, TV On The Radio, and others. #MorePerfectUnion #MoodMachine #MusicIndustryInsights
Just ordered @lizpelly.bsky.social #MoodMachine on @bookshop.org NOT Amazon. I know it's going to make me rethink my love of #Spotify but it seems like an essential read. And Bezos won't get a dime! #shopindie #boycottAmazon
Mood Machine book by Liz Pelly
Excellent book! A must-read if you are an artist or a music fan. #MoodMachine #LizPelly #Spotify #MusicStreaming #Payola
(1/2) After reading “Mood Machine” by Liz Pelly, I am ever more disilllusioned about Spotify and its unhealthy infuence over music and culture as both an artist and listener.
#moodmachine #booksky #lizpelly
#MoodMachine by @lizpelly.bsky.social is absolutely required reading for #musicians, #music fans, folks in any music-related business, users of #Spotify & other streamers, & anyone concerned about equity in #tech or the #arts. I thought I knew what it was going to be about but it was so much more.
reposting this for @citystreetmedia.bsky.social and anyone else interested since there is alot of crossover into the holistic aspects of consuming art and culture that have become more important with AI developments bsky.app/profile/ambi...
