    yes, well… i personally wouldn’t assume any political orientation based on platform preferences. as for the reaction, it doesn’t surprisee me: it’s part of the mainline narrative of young people being “foolish narcissistic clicktvists acting out for social media klout”. Which i personally don’t belive in. In some cases it might even be rooted in frustration arrising from the lack of attention brought upon other, perhaps more elaborate and constructive, ways to tackle the issue.

    There might be better ways, i’m no judge of that, but the one rmployed by this young people for sure enables discussions and exchange, which are not always positive maybe, but the world of ideas is a pot that requires to be stirred up.

    I don’t really have any tips regarding theory, i never picked it up mostly due to laziness. Admittedly, i never felt the need as my lack of knowledge didn’t keep me from cutting records and touring. But your post cheered me up, and it made me want to point out the incredible satisfaction of sharing a musical moment with other people. Doesn’t have to be a band or a committed project. Just having another instinct leading the music in unexpected direction is a great way to learn new stuff. It’s not something you need to do to grow, music is its own person in some senses: even when you play alone it’s you AND music. But if you get the chance to play with someone: take it!

    Best of luck in your endeavour!

    I think the modality of spotify is ok, but the model could be very different. In exemple, imagine if you payed 10$ month, but instead of those being distributed across all of spotify statistically, they where divided and distrubuted to the author YOU actually listened to, on a monthly basis.

    Maybe one month you only listened to 10 songs, so 1$ for each song author that month.

    Of course, there should be a cut for the platform from that monthly fee, after all they have maintenance and administrative costs. And perhaps it should also take into account how much of a song you listened to, down to the second.

    This is not a new model, but it is not an interesting one for venture capitalist funds, because it is too egalitarian. It is up to us to create it.
