    Given how little spotify gives to artists, I can’t imagine this being a cost effective way to launder your money at all.

      Yeah, I could see Steam, or the App/Play stores. 30% is a meaningful split, but it could be a reasonable layer of isolation in exchange. But Spotify?

        Not even just Spotify, but first to some other 3rd party that then takes their own cut first. Utter ridiculous logic.

      Also with an app you just buy it. If the app is like 10 euros that’s pretty fast. But with Spotify you need to listen to streams for hours and hours, it’s fucking slow.

        I’m pretty sure nobody is actually listening to the songs… they would just be playing them in an empty room. Probably with a bunch of devices playing the songs at once.

          I understand, but even than playing a song is much more effort (time consuming) than buying an app. It’s just super inefficiënt.
