Also, that's a pretty solid point on the breaking the monopoly factor. That's definitely a point for Spotify.

That pretty much covers the bases on what I was curious about. Very few of the musicians I know bother trying to get their stuff on there and those that do don't seem to feel super opinionated or positive about it. Should have put this

I don't have any concrete reason to think it's evil, just vague rumors I've heard here and there that it's hard to make money on there for artists? Was curious if other people thought it was evil, bad, good, great.

I just want to say this is a beautiful and inspiring project so far. Im looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

Exactly, a classic 95:95 scenario. You can build 95% of the functionality for yourself pretty quickly but getting it to work for 20+ people will end up constituting 95% of the total labor if you choose to do it. There has to be a serious re

Agreed, still love the untouched UI but work like this seems like it will only help reinforce the accessibility and long-term health of the project.

I've found Sumo tends to reveal a lot of cultural biases in people that I otherwise consider very worldly / educated etc. Even those that tend to adore Japanese culture. I developed an interest in it while I was living in LA and s

Excellent lecture. The slick TED talk guys at the beginning kind of freaked me out but Eric Cline did not disappoint. This guy is a beast. Wish I had known about him back when I was teaching Art Hist.
