And it's starting to look like a lot of other companies will do something like this. It's frustrating for the people that don't have anything to do with it, as much empathy as we have. Some poeple don't even know what's going on over there and actually, they don't have to. It shouldn't be that hard to do this same thing but only in the US am i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-p-plastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCD 405 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Better have a free day, that's a win-win, a promo and a statement. Shutting down for a day is unfair for paying costumers, and questionably legal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t see how this is even doing anything to help the situation. Music has had zero effect on anything that’s happening so I don’t get how taking away Spotify for a day is going to help at all. So that is actually a great way to WAKE PEOPLE THE FUKC UP? It‘s so hard for white people to stand and show solidarity with our black brothers and sisters, huh? If you can‘t live a day without Spotify, that‘s a you problem.

You know, like George Floyd who was brutally murdered in an act of violence. That wasn't fair for him either and he LOST HIS LIFE OVER IT. But, OK...

ModernEcstasy 9,004 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I listen to music around 6 hours per day using Spotify. It’s one of my coping methods. I Do completely stand by Black Lives Matter. But how is 1 day going to make a difference. Racism is happening all of the time. I just hope that the effort actually has an impact this time!

C1trus 4,341 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I don't know. My suggestions instead are: 1)Fill the app with banners of BLM 2) Ads for free versions will also be about BLM. 3) The suggested playlists should be statements (broadcasts) about BLM. Sure. Many of us will understand and praise the act but it's inevitable that many will also be pissed and might divert their anger to the cause of the shutdown which will just cause another conflict. ι'м ρυℓℓιηg үσυя sтяιηgs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicHot 6,444 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 This sucks for sure but hopefully Amazon Music doesn’t do this too. That’s how I am streaming Chromatica, I have the album on a playlist multiple times and I just leave it on the entire day. PS: Before yall drag me and “sad”-react me, I’m not saying I don’t care about the issues going on right now. But as a loyal stan I’m doing what I can to help Gaga. dOnT sAd ReAcT mE 2 bE sHaDy i WiLL RePoRt U!!1! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
