Come riporta NME, in un’intervista uscita settimana scorsa, il CEO di Spotify Daniel Ek ha detto che per gli artisti “non è abbastanza fare un disco ogni 3-4 anni”. Da quando questo commento è uscito, intorno a lui e alla sua azienda si è scatenato un polverone, con un sacco di musicisti che l’hanno accusato di sminuire il loro lavoro.
Music=product, and must be churned out regularly, says billionaire Daniel Ek.
Go fuck yourself. https://t.co/zJjl3NWjLl

You just cannot demand so much of artists and work them to exhaustion and then also tell them they aren’t outputting enough music to suit your business model. I took all the time I needed to make my second album. I’ll do it again and again if I need to.

it is extremely clear that @Spotify billionaire daniel ek has never made music, or art of any kind for that matter. he refuses to understand there's a difference between commodities and art. the potential for cultural growth will suffer because of it.
