I would quote and clap at the entirety of the Spotify paragraphs. Entirely on point! And in fandom spaces, it's created this weird competition between fans about what percentile you're in, which just promotes extreme consumption. And it doesn't even help the artists, not really, like you say! It's also not even accurate since it stops counting around october. I always preferred last.fm but it probably also would've been co-opted and bastardized by now if it had the same profile as Spotify...
Also: Love Actually actually is awful and I don't get the charade either. It also popularized all those movies with 12 storylines that would be subpar movies on their own. Terrible.
Thank you so much! Absolutely, and I find the competitive consumption/gaming of the system so antithetical to how music should be enjoyed. But then again, streaming platforms set us up for that.
Omg so true. I dream of a world where no 12 storyline movies named after major holidays exist 💖✨
