"Spotify is the best place for people to discover my work"

"That's your entire strategy?"

"Yes."

"Seriously?"

🤔 🤔 🤔

"Yes."

"You're getting played."

"No I'm not."

*bootlicking horseshit translator*

"I give all my hand baked goods away to a billionaire to place inside their scone-based grifting machine! I'm sure that the millions of monthly listeners it takes to not make minimum wage will throng to my scones any day now, from inside the sconeTheft empire"

Later:

"I have a better strategy now."

"OK, let's hear it."

"It still involves Spotify."

"...OK..."

"And my streaming distributor."

"You're about to tell me that this is the sum of your new plan, isn't it?"

"..."

This line of thinking seems to be finally dying out, but I'm still hearing a few people like "How else are people going to find my work?" as their entire response to everything.

It's like they're not seeing either the negative side effects, or the primary disease.
