    Spotify is saying it’s “a real blow to innovation”.

    Honestly wtf they on about. 1-2% tax on their massive multi million platform, and the tax goes directly to support music in the country.

    Fuck Spotify.

      Oh yeah. Innovation from Spotify. Like their great recent one, copying TikTok for a few weeks.

        What are you on about?! Spotify innovates all the time. Almost every week I’m greeted with a new way to fuck up their app and/or service. That’s impressive! 😐
