Spotify, NFTs, and Capitalist Accleration: A Conversation With RSH
A Marxist analytical conversation about the current state of music distribution. Langdon invited RSH, a pop music critic for Billboard as well as a writer at various other venues, to discuss the rift between Spotify and Neil Young. The focus of the conversation is less on the particulars of this specific incident and more on the historical and material conditions that led to the rise of Spotify rooted in musicians not owning the means of production/distribution of their work, an issue that is only further underscored by the recent appearance of HitPiece and their deeply illegal NFT music scam based off the Spotify API.
