Centralised billing effectively makes serious journalism impossible. Omnibus subscription services will ruthlessly cut anything that affects the bottom line, and effective journalism is necessarily unpopular.
- carlosjobim 8mo agoExactly! That's why Spotify doesn't allow any noisy music or music with curse words. The mainstream public would flee from the platform.
- eli 8mo agoI'd encourage you to ask a recording artist how they like the arrangement they have with Spotify. But also, yeah, I do think the streaming financial incentives affect what music gets written and produced. Just not necessarily anything to do with cuss words.
