Well you know how before Spotify, people used to listen to music from their favorite artists? Spotify made it so that you could listen to music from your favorite artists via a middleman.
I used to listen to my favorite music only when someone else choose to play it on the radio. Even before Spotify, it was known that buying CDs was giving more to the recording label than the musicians. If you want to support the musicians: Go to live shows and buy their shirts.
I mean, I’d record songs off the radio on tape and make my own mix tapes and trade them with friends. I’d buy CDs and rip them to MP3s, made custom mix CDs, and CDRs full of 700 mb of mp3s. I owned several MP3 players before the iPod, and since. People listened to music in thousands of ways before Spotify, and will after.
Innovation? The fuck have they innovated? They’re stupid Bluetooth spotify only car thing that they bailed on?
Spotify wrapped … yeah no shit I played my favourite song the most this year… Such an inovating feature of useless information…
They did innovate underpaying artists tho.
