Music streamer Spotify can go fuckify itself
Spotify is just trying to get out of playing Canadian content to Canadians. When we listen to a Spotify “radio” we’re expecting random but themed music, like we get from a radio station. What we don’t get is Canadian content. The Canadian content requirements exist because we’re attached to a very big exporter of culture and music. It’s important to keep our music scene alive in the face of pressure from American artists and American media networks.
If Canadians don’t listen to Canadian music who will?
I’ve subscribed for years. So much of my content is already Canadian. There needs to be seperate rules when playing 'your content’s (like your music collection) and the ‘radio’ (DJ, recommendations etc)
Absolutely. I don’t think anyone is trying to tell Spotify users what to do and what to listen to.
This is just Spotify trying to get the advantages of being the new digital radio without the responsibilities that come with being a radio provider.
Whatever Spotify wants, probably our best interests are the opposite.
