"Tata Kazika" was the very first one.

Fuxake. Is there *anything* these evil bastards do that will make people leave that damn platform?
New/Growing scourge for independant artists - Spotify allows other people to upload songs and link them to your name/account.

"What does it mean?"

If you made a Venn diagram of every weird person I knew in Silicon Valley during the first dot-com boom, centrifuged it, extracted the pellet, and re-suspended it in high-proof eugenics with a splash of AI, you'd end up with something like this.
