- Dylan16807 2y agoIf you want to give your music away to people, that's great. This is just about the price to Spotify and services like it. If you don't want the royalties from Spotify, you can do something like donate them to charity. Giving Spotify a discount is something I'm not fond of, because you're either hoping they give you better placement which is basically payola, or you're getting nothing back so you're making a donation to a giant corporation.
- Gud 2y agoBut there is no "discount". There is just two parties agreeing to a price point.
- Dylan16807 2y agoIf a big majority are the same price, I don't care what you want to call other prices. My point doesn't depend on what word we use.
- johnnyanmac 2y agothen you give it away for free. Where does spotify fit into this? If this is a metaphor to "I want to work for free", then no. You technically can, but the company will get into trouble for allowing that. Same deal here. Personal projects on your own free time is different from a billion dollar company hiring interns "for exposure".
