SOUNDS LIKE SPOTIFY, A COMPANY WITH MONEY TO FUCKING BURN, SHOULD EAT THE COSTS OR THEY COULD JUST BE, Y'KNOW, SAYING THAT AS COVER TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PAY NOTHING WHILE REAPING MASSIVE PROFIT BUT A COMPANY WOULD NEVER DO THAT!
Like, seriously, that's the kind of offensive thing about this Randos on social media going "It would be so great if the publishing industry imploded tomorrow and all the big companies went out of business and every author was an indie self-publisher They would be set free"
-

And meanwhile the actual working authors (and their elected union representatives) are all like "Holy shit no that's my worst nightmare" And then the randos call them brainwashed corporate bootlickers who don't know how their own jobs work
-
Again, this was hashed out in public in great detail when people weighed in on Amazon vs Hachette in 2014 The authors defended the Big 6 for the same reason cab driver unions defend traditional cab companies Yeah they're predators like all capitalists but Uber is far worse

authors especially a motherfucker because in one moment they'll talk about "i was only paid $1500 by this billionaire company for my book" and in the next go "but it's THE PIRATES that are the problem"
