This is something the federal government actually should be regulating under interstate commerce
They should. Instead they’re not only not doing that, but they’re writing executive orders that make it illegal for states to do exactly that.
I quit Spotify and started using internet radio. Once a month, instead of giving $20 to a corporate overlord, I donate it to my favorite indy radio station playing fresh songs. Not the same pop BS over and over. Unique music from talented local artists around the world.
It does take a bit more time and experimentation to find some great stations.
Man I sure hope the gov sees the writing on the wall and just lets it die. There’s no “bailing out” a company that has no path to profitability. At least the auto and housing industries existed for hundreds of years prior.
