Mr Ricky 8,730 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The fact that people are worrying about streams and actually thinking on how this is not helping at all. It worries me sometimes. Crossfit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of other ways to consume music for a mere day. not to mention the fact that people are paying customers. by all means, make statements. but don't make empty statements like this that are in fact detrimental to black artists. no black artists are going to be earning money from spotify on that day, no black artists are going to be able to promote their music that empowers black youth. no matter what angle you take, it's an issue. the artist formerly known as melancholia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndiGaga 5,124 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 This is just stupid SO stupid, just... make playlists of black artists, do ads before songs that show support for the black community Use big pictures and highlight the support, but shut it down?

And u cant force all Non-US members to care about something thats happening in America. I never saw Americans tweet about miserable conditions of migrants due to corona virus in India in Last 2 months. Every country has its problems but this is a global forum. Im not saying im not hurt by what happens to black people but u cant force the rest of the world to not talk about other things they enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this finally wakes up some people, then this is a fairly low-cost way of spreading awareness. It will only piss off millions of people and some of them will start blaming black people. Should they blame them? Of course not, but they will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix 1,357 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 This seems so performative like just donate the millions that we know you have and keep it pushing. Plus shutting down just silences black artists? I really struggle to see what this is meant to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna stay in and listen to music, not go out and see all this looting and rioting. You staying in doesn't mean nothing's happening. There's a real world problem right out of the door. ¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a publicity stunt to make them seem 'woke' Keeping it up or shutting it down will make no difference except piss people off who want to listen to music.

smitherz 1,670 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I think this is a great move by Spotify. Also, if you came into this thread to complain about the impact on a ****ing pop album, I highly suggest you reconsider where your morals lie.
