Pulling R Kelly off the services algorithms? Virtue signaling at its finest.

I'm sure Michael Jackson, Cee Lo, Rick Ross, Led Zeppelin (+1 shark) and others are sure to follow right?

The fags at GLAAD and limp wristed commies at the SPLC? Better strike off Lynyrd Skynyrd (Southern hate music) and Money For Nothing (That little burrito with the earrings and the make up) too.

spotify after it rids itself of all alleged kid touching musicians

R Kelly's removal comes under the new "Hate Content & Hateful Conduct" policy, which is designed to "be consistent with our distinct roles in music and media".

The company describes hate content as: "Content that expressly and principally promotes, advocates, or incites hatred or violence against a group or individual based on characteristics, including, race, religion, gender identity, sex, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability."

---

so theoretically, any rapper that disses another rapper could be filed as hate content & hateful conduct because of "hatred against an individual based on characteristics" -- methinks it's a slippery slope and since spotify is presumably a means to generate revenue it's that oh-so-SJW thing of "guilty until proven innocent.... in lieu of due process to determine guilt/innocence we're gonna take away some of your revenue streams in the meantime because making money is a privilege, not a right"

plus speaking of a slippery slope they flat out reference their own "distinct roles in music & media" so this concept might carry over beyond spotify itself.

It's a music app on your phone. I'm rocking some Steely Dan right now.

Bad Sneakers and a Pina Colada my friend
Stompin' on the avenue
By Radio City with a
Transistor and a large sum of money to spend....

Another way for the joos to control people

Why is it better than, say, Pandora?

Spotify is not just an app, but a desktop program as well.

It was the first music app to allow you to pick exactly what you want to listen. (For free on Windows, $10/month for mobile). You don't have to listen to radio stations or playlists...you create your own playlists or listen to individual songs on demand. No commercials for Spotify Premium of course. There are also a ton of integrations with Last.FM, Waze and a bunch of other apps and websites. The $10 I pay Spotify every month is the easiest monthly expenditure I have, bar none.

i only listen to cassettes

easiest? $10 a month is basically 12 cd's a year... over the course of 30 years that's 360 albums. It's smarter to just buy cd's as you want them, because I don't know anyone who had that many when they were the craze.

But, i will say, spotify is easier than managing your own collection. That is, if you get internet wherever you are.

I got rid of all my cd's a few weeks ago, except about 40 or so.

Spotify is where it's at.

edit: and you can download albums to your phone for when you are flying...
