I just confirmed with an employee...this isn't true. The workers are taking the day off to plan activism, but the streaming service will stay up.

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.

In order to make that assumption, you’d have to ask how black artists feel about that. I’m sure some of them would forego the revenue (which we know is meager as Spotify doesn’t pay fair royalties anyways) in order to amplify the movement.

Didn’t find any other sources back up the Spotify shut down thing and the statement Spotify posted to days prior are rather vague.

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. 

Morals? They don't have any, they look like those teenagers complaining they don't get likes when Instagram is down. PATHETIC.

If this is true, I do expect it to be US-only. Otherwise, it would be pretty ridiculous.

yeah because racism only happens in the US :ohwell:

A music lover would never rely on streaming lmao that's quite basic. A music lover OWNS music, not services.

Are you really telling someone that they cannot be a music lover because they prefer streaming? :bradley:

Chromatica and Gaga will be fine. One day won’t hurt anyone. Let’s focus on the bigger picture and the cause this is for; music can wait. And I think if anything this is more employees joining the activism. I don’t think the service would shut down with no access.

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. 

exactly. Wanted to say this. They could have said they will donate all Spotify profits from streams to the black lives matter movement. Shutting down is senseless.

Nobody cares right now, wtf

I know there's much more important issues, but I was just bringing it up as many monsters would mention it- as they have in the thread. :heart:

Come, come unwrap me

Gurl GGD has members from Outside US as well. 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. 

I'm not trying to say that, but also you can do BOTH, enjoy yourself and be a good f-ing human being.

Also OP's sentence is illogical anyways, since it's going to affect ALL music the same way, like...is Chromatica the only album on Spotify?

They should be making donations from the streams tomorrow, not temporarily keeping it closed. This is extremely performative, like these companies don't make billions of dollars in revenue

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.

Good. People should be pissed off. Why is it anyone’s fault if misguided, ignorant people misdirect their blame? They should take this as reason to help the movement so we can end this injustice once and for all. Black people are tired of waiting.
