No. It would be like the rat with the button that dispenses cocaine. I'd get so addicted to extending the moments I feel good that I'd be unable to weigh the actually cost of the trade.

I'd get near the end of my life and regret that j can't watch my children and grandchildren grow up because i selfishly spent my time earlier im my life.

That sounds like a bad idea. Make your own server to put them on. You can rotate defaults if it becomes to centralised.

The issue isnt choosing a server it's usablity and content. Focus on features people have been wanting for years.

Imagine not predicting 2026 the year of the linux desktop

So you basically hold them to a higher standard than google, apple, Microsoft, cisco, Amazon. Because theyve all had outages cause by certs expiring.

Its a common issue and its not a huge deal. The package manager cert was a big outage but their wiki website cert is the most minor shit ever.

No because the expectation is they won't do common sense issues so its based when thry finally do

The popular tankie influences have soured a bit on him and that sentiment flows down. I think Mamdani said against the protestors shouting globalize the intifada outside of a synagogue which pissed off tankies.

Based. Good to see him going for common sense easy issues to keep people engaged while he works on the harder to tackle issues.

I get new artists recommended to me all the time. Every one of my discover weekly playlists has a song from someone with under 5k listeners.

You are obviously trolling since there is not way you could know I'm "factual wrong" since neither of us have facts on the Spotify algo and you clearly have no idea how the world works.

Maybe your friend who is a "small artist" should leave Spotify and return once they have listeners or make music people enjoy.

Can we be clear that we aren't talking about new artists. New artists will probably make the 1000 steam metric and get their $6 of revenue. Were talking about artists who cannot make 1000 views in a year after uploading for a years.

Its a small team and those are mistakes. We can find hundreds of examples of major companies with IT teams in the 100s making those same mistakes. The solution was figured out by the team and fixed. The original version of that GH page that most people remember was much longer but its been significantly reduced as most of the claims were disputed and the author had to reel back their claims or remove them outright. Now whats left is just a few pedantic complaints.

With arch they make those mistakes less but they shift a lot more configuration onto the user and when those mistakes get made they dont need to take any blame because it was the user who made the mistake. Arch has pushed updates that have broken bootloaders how many times? I'd consider that to be catastrophic failure on any distro except arch where i think its fine as the user should be able to fix their bootloader pretty easily.

They are compensated for the value they create. If their music cant break 1000 streams in a year its creating no value for spotify. This is an agreement they are fully aware of and they choose to still put their music on spotify. Spotify offers a ton of value to these artists and only gets returns on that investment if the artist actually makes good music.

When we look at who is winning/losing for an artist making music that cant break 1000 streams its spotify losing. They have unpopular unwanted music taking up space and shitting up their recomended algo. Everytime they show that music to someone its a risk that the user has a bad experience. But the artist is still given the chance and to the artist thats extremely valuable far more valuable than a few cents.

How do you feel about adblock and piracy? I'd argue that we dont have to compensate people for every little thing and i'd use that as an example.
