This list seems to confi that Spotify did not donate for J. Biden : https://web.archive.org/web/20210122110624/https://bideninaugural.org/brqrthk6dhdn94xx/
Although, I think I’d still be careful with that limited information:
- This was an online event during the pandemic
- I’m not american and I sometime don’t get your culture, wtf is this million dollars event that requires big companies to do substantial donations? If they’re invited it might be “common procedure” that they donate in return? In that case donating would be the neutral thing to do? (Which is still a bit cowardly)

I’ve had enough of Spotify’s anti-artist practices since being an early adopter, I pay for a premium family account and I’m ready and willing to jump to any service with a not-narrow range of music that treats artists better. I’d rather not just sail the seven seas cuz I find the management of it all annoying, but I’m real irritated with Spotify and ready to consider maybe even that if there’s just nothing else.

Thanks very much for the well thought out (and sourced) response!
I occasionally watch videos by a YouTuber named Benn Jordan (just a coincidence with my own Lemmy username to be clear), and he gives what look like pretty damning arguments to me that the numbers Spotify is publishing are misleading and not telling the whole story, and that their treatment of artists over time is growing worse.
Here’s one of the videos I think I remember being fairly compelling - https://youtu.be/gDfNRWsMRsU
I thought there was a more recent one but I’m not finding it. Anyway with that said, I’ve got no dog in this fight and I only watch some of that stuff recreationally, I lack a ton of info.
been using Qobuz the past month. It’s been pretty much awesome so far, also since I enjoy buying albums as well.
Access Industries being the Blavatnik mob?
Yes!
Well, they are legal entities within EU, no? Nontheless this is shitty behaviour.
Could you please provide a reliable source for the infos stated in the picture?
Also Google, Tesla etc. have legal entities in Europe, but that does not make them the good guys.

This is the video that convinced me to drop Spotify after 7 years to join Tidal.
It’s a long watch, but high quality and entertaining to boot!
Deezer->and who owns the remaining ~59%?
