This got me to check out Tidal, finally, and it turns out to be cheaper than Spotify premium over here. Playlist transferring shows quite a bit of my music is missing, but I'll live. Bye bye, creepy Swede.
It's really an "anyone but Spotify" situation. Looking back on 2025, we can see everyone whose paid me royalties this year & the rates thereof (Tidal wins, but Amazon, Youtube & Apple aren't bad,) and looking back on my history with Spotify by year, we see exactly when their payout rules changed:

there's a contrast i must point out because I'm noticing that since my music diet is pretty much Otaku coded:
Umamusume songs: I'm gonna win the race also I'm super gay
Tokusatsu OPs: You should be a good person and kick evils ass *shreds guitar*

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

Nutcracker Fantasy is hands down the most gorgeous stop motion movie ever made. It's MOM Productions, the studio that did work for Rankin Bass, at the height of their prowess. It should be on TV every year. aftermath.site/sanrio-film-...

I asked ESPN Research and they asked Elias Sports Bureau and they looked back as far as they could (to 1978) and it would appear Jalen Hurts is the first player to ever commit two turnovers in one play. Isn't history beautiful?

Also I want to re-up this part of the essay because I think it's one of the most important points I make. The most popular stat used to argue the "they/them" ad worked? It can't be verified or independently evaluated.
When I was researching this essay I was struck by the fact that a key piece of evidence used to support the idea that the "they/them" ad was decisive is, apparently, unverifiable to the public.
That inconvenience didn't stop a stampede of people waving the 2.7% figure around like a bloody shirt.
