This meme points out an interesting contradiction…
…or does it? Thoughts?

Filtering what is happening in music to save you time, money and effort.
Choosing to give away music is different than having somebody take it.
Can’t recall many artists making the claim on the left. I think this meme is off context. If a band was to give their music for free, it was probably to try and build an audience for a limited time, but didn’t foresee giving it away forever. Also, what’s the point of this meme? Are they trying to silence artists now who are in dire straits? I think that goes against what we as music fans stand for. I don’t like it.
Choosing to give your music away is one thing. Spotify making money off your music that you are giving away is the other.
