It's going to get worse for Spotify. Right now it's largely has-beens yanking their music but soon it'll be bigger names because the small but very loud Twitter mob is going to make every artist on Spotify defend themselves.
And these people always buckle.
Before long, Spotify will consist of Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Joe Rogan.
Spotify will probably ditch Rogan and pay off his contract.
Of course, Joe Rogan isn't going to go away. He has F-You money. He has 11,000,000 listeners each week. He has the number one podcast in the world and wherever he winds up, millions will follow.
I have an idea, why don’t we just go back to buying the CDs of the artists we like, and supporting them more directly?
Crazy, I know.
