UK artist Darren Sangita said the investment represents the weaponisation of music. He’s not alone in his boycott of the streaming giant, with artists around the world following a similar route. The producer vows to support and continue with Bandcamp, saying “it’s the only platform that has constantly given better rates and community support.” As an artist, I cannot morally agree with inadequate payments of royalties to those whose entire livelihood is the reason for Daniel Ek’s success.” “I also left because it became apparent very quickly that Spotify’s CEO, as all billionaires, only got rich off the exploitation of others. There’s nothing ethical about it, no matter how you spin it,” he said. Brisbane’s b l u e s c r e e n told Resident Advisor that he couldn’t justify continuing to use the platform given Ek’s investment, as well as the platform’s long-criticised royalty rates.
