Quick reality check: there are less than 1.5 million under-16 teens (that is 13-15yos) in Australia. If Inman is right (and assuming most pre-teens didn't have accounts), they've had an average of three accounts blocked each. Doesn't pass the laugh test.
Australia social media ban hits 4.7 million teen accounts in first month
Global regulators are closely watching the implementation of the world-first ban for users under 16, with some U.S. states considering whether to follow suit.

The Times cheered on Israel's genocide.
And now they're using the apocalyptic consequences to sell copies.
Absolutely nauseating.

Holy shit, that’s just actual theft.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.
