Is there anything gayer than artists removing themselves from streaming platforms because "le Jode Roghan say LE BAD"?
I love Failure so much but this brainrot is retarded. Any other examples?

Annoying when an artist isn’t on Spotify, I like all my shit in one place
I also like all my shit in one place. Thats why i use this secret forbiden nuclear place called "phone storage". That and jet audio. Dont understand why people use spotify
me too, that's why i buy albums to own forever
>zoomers cannot conceive of slsk or physical media
jesus christ you guys are pathetic
Who the fuck would use physical media? With streaming services you can pay $12 a month and listen to any song you want on your phone at the tap of a finger. Stupid of you to even suggest that. Fucking old people lol
>t. old person larping as zoomer to bait stupid older people
I'm a zoomer but even I buy physical music of bands I adore. I still use streaming mainly but listening to vinyl on big speakers in a room is unmatched.
>With streaming services you can pay $12 a month and listen to any song you want on your phone at the tap of a finger
And yet here you are complaining about what music ISN'T on there. Funny, isn't it?
THE POINT IS TO OWN THE THINGS YOU BUY
And then all streaming shuts down and you have nothing and you paid for nothing. Good job retard
i like to own my music. i like to have it in a nice big collection.
music will go the way of the tv streaming services where you'll have to have 6 of them to have all your artists
Me too, that's why I download all my music like a non-retard.
everyone should do this, spotify is a shit platform
your fault for using a shit service
don't tell me you actually pay for this shit
>Boohoo my vaporwave mixtape got pulled from Spotify for being labelled "bot content"
I've unironically never understood the love for Failure. I like the first Autolux album, but that's about it. Failure bore me to tears.
I don't know, the guitar textures are really juicy, and the bass tone (especially Magnified) is thunderous.
same, they also sound too post-grungey.
I've always enjoyed their music but I feel like 95% of their songs are basically "we used to be addicted to heroin, woohoo"
Kek, as a diehard Failure fan this is pretty damn true
Their explanation was "peddling vaccine misinformation prevents people from being able to go to concerts and that hurts our revenue"
did any of these homosexuals ever come out and apologize when rogan's "misinformation" became common knowledge?
are you posting from a parallel reality?
it's funny because Joe's takes are incredibly tame, you'd think he was someone like Nick Funetes with the reaction to that. also i'm sure there were plenty other right wing or anti-vaxx podcasters/artists on spotify that no one gave a shit about because they weren't trending at the time. arbitrary bullshit.
shut the fuck up, retard
>Lab leak is a ho-ACK!
>The vaccine is safe and effe-ACK!
you don't leave your house so why do you care
Actually I went to a local show last night and saw some people like you wearing masks. Can you believe that? Standing shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of strangers thinking a mask is going to do anything?
we ain't too partial to big pharma pfizer fascist homosexualry here.
go back, you fucking predditor.
lmao theyre only mad because the vax restrictions are causing them to lose money. they dont actually give a shit
Go CHUDDISH
Become RUBBISH
The left can't meme
kek you can just tell some effete dysgenic british teenager who reads the guardian wrote that post
4thpwp
Cutting off your nose to spite your face is based. I’ll definitely not be looking up this band
LMAO all their good albums are still on Spotify because they don't own them. Also, didn't Neil Young return to Spotify?
obvious cash grab. thyere probably makin more dough off purchases than streaming. under the guise of removing their music for ethical reasons which im sure they dgaf about
>Beyond the moral issues raised by Spotify’s COVID decision, the issue of vaccine misinformation and how it directly affects the current situation in the live music space is simply untenable. Right now, Failure have a 31-date US tour booked for June. The last tour we had booked in 2019 was canceled because of COVID, which was a massive financial blow to the band. The vast majority of venues on our upcoming tour are requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test to see our show. We simply cannot square Spotify’s insistence on spreading misinformation about something that directly endangers our band’s supply chain, namely, human beings in a room with big speakers. There are multiple layers, and reasons for our decision, but looking at the capitalistic, free market angle, this band, like any other small business, is cutting ties with a partner that continues to cut into our bottom line. On that level, this problem is really that simple.
>Of course, no system or business is perfect, but we have alternatives to Spotify that allow the band to be compensated in a more sustainable way, and without the need to associate ourselves with dangerous lies about public health policy.
>The vast majority of venues on our upcoming tour are requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test to see our show.
How the fuck is this a thing in 2023.
This was from 2022
Even in 2022. I mean if you couldn't figure out this virus was a big nothing burger in 2020. You don't deserve to breathe.
Wow my desire to see them live just deflated a bit
I love Failure but they are serious libtards especially Ken Andrews. He wouldn't shut up about Trump when I saw them live and it wasn't really a good show. Like between each other song it was so rant about Orangeman. Damm dude I want to hear Saturday savoir, not this BS
I really wish this mind virus MKULTRA shit didn't infect the music world so much,
>Saturday savoir
Oh. We're BARELY speaking English now...
Saw this as well maybe 4 months ago their music is still up I'm still bumping, but as soon as any artist is off spotify I don't really listen anymore I'm not using multiple streaming services and there's more than enough music to fill the voids
>on bandcamp
owned by epic games, aka china
lol fucking trust fund kiddies.
It’s based. Let the precious homosexuals phase themselves out. Spotify’s defiance of this whole thing is based as fuck and it’s the main reason I’m still subscribed.
no way this is from 2023
barely anyone cares about the vax anymore
it's not. i don't know why the op decided to post something from two years ago. i've seen this on failure's profile for a while now.
joe rogan is an unfunny pothead fag
stop simping for him, homo OP
OP isn't simping tho, he's just pointing out that this band is being retarded. If anything you're simping for them
At least he wasn't the worst part of Newsradio
That honor goes to Andy Dick
>Newsradio
Based. For me Joe Rogan will forever be the guy from Newsradio and I'll pretend his podcast doesn't exist.
Their reasoning is retarded but also bands are basically looking for an excuse to not use Spotify (other than “fuck you pay me”) because they pay fucking nothing. If you can come up with ANY justification you think your fanbase will swallow, you take it, because having your music on Spotify is basically flushing money down the toilet
I wonder if they realise they also share the same planet as Joe Rogan. Why don’t they go to the Moon? In fact why don’t they travel through a black hole and just immigrate to a different dimension?
>Is there anything gayer than artists removing themselves from streaming platforms because "le Jode Roghan say LE BAD"?
Yes, artists not removing themselves from the streaming platforms
>only their shitty new stuff was removed
nothingburger
also if you use spotify you deserve having all your favorite bands pull their shit
>Verification not required.
I like a few tracks from their modern albums personally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIEUmWWbOEQ
Gigabased. Real music chads know Bandcamp is the best platform in the world. Have never used Spotify, but I know enough about it that I never will.
lol, imagine calling yourselves 'failure'
It was a Gen X thing, you wouldn't understand.
i understand it perfectly. still a dumb name
I wasn't ever that into Failure, but now I'm gonna go buy their shit on Bandcamp. Every band should make the same move they did.
Failure is shitty teen-metal anyway
It's gay because people peddle misinformation on every platform all day and until le joe rogan does it not even in a extremely explicit way but in his gay skeptical way THEN people freak out
ironically, it could be argued that the lie that the vax stopped transmission and infection was even more damaging as misinformation because it made people think they could go back to crowded ""superspreader"" events without worry once they got jabbed
(me)
as an example, I personally know people who had weddings in 2021/2022 who demanded every guest be jabbed and what do you know, every single one of the weddings had COVID outbreaks
Musicians can and should remove themselves from streaming for whatever reason they want. They get fuckall money from it. It essentially just uses their work to generate ad/subscription money for the owners of the stream service. Utter cuckoldry.
As for listener convenience, artists owe absolutely nothing to hogs who want their work for free but can't into piracy somehow. Get gud.
>Wow why do people only listen to top 40 normie core?
spotify also treats artists like shit so joe rogan might not be the only reason
Yeah, I don't get what Joe Rogan has to do with any of this, and automatically assuming he does is idiotic. Lots of artists vocally talk shit about Spotify and for good reason.
in the full post they cite "spotify platforming vaccine misinformation"
Thanks for the info if true. Kinda weird they'd do anything about it now, that vaccine stuff feels like really old news.
It's from last year, OP's just a baiting jackass
COVID ended in 2020
This statement reads like they’re saying leaving Spotify makes them a failure, it should say something like “our band, failure,” honestly read this and thought they were saying that because they’re leaving Spotify they failed
fortunately got my joni mitchell cds, but annoying needing to buy AAs for my discman
>somebody I never heard of just got a pfizer sponsorship
serves streamingfags right
just pirate, it's that easy
>boycotting Spotify because it’s a shit-tier service that only lets you rent music streamed at low quality bitrates
Based
>boycotting Spotify because of some stupid political drama between a podcast bro and a washed up boomer
Way more cringe than being on Spotify in the first place
T-TWO MORE WEEKS AND YOU'LL SEE, VAXXIES!!!
