    If your business can’t pay it’s workers (artists) fairly, your business doesn’t deserve to exist.

      Not trying to glaze, but Trudeau had the same idea here in Canada, and Google and Facebook and most of the internet crucified him for it.

        The internet doesn’t tend to like to pay the actual cost for things. You’ll find very little sympathy for paid services, especially here on Lemmy.

              those choices of the minority won’t matter in the long run when the other service is cheaper and has the fatter marketing budget.

              just look at the refusal of normies to adopt something like mastodon just because you need a couple extra steps.

              Is that for youtube videos not youtube music? Pretty sure YT music pays less than spotify by a wide margin.

              True it’s probably going to become an outdated concept and what is really needed would be an universal basic income

        Not really the same, this was more large Canadian companies trying to extort money from Google whilst google still gives them their traffic.

        Not trying to defend gogle, that company can burn to the ground as far as I care, but it wasn’t the same
