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.

In 2002 or 03 a Chicago public access cable channel aired this for at least a full half hour. No audio. I took a photo with a digital camera & that’s all the documentation I have. Anyone have any dirt?

A recurring “AI” evangelist tactic is using it for tasks that were already solved by tech that is more deterministic, faster, and uses less energy, but has been downgraded or de-emphasised in recent years by software companies

A reminder: it doesn't have to be this way.
Mexico has a hell of a lot more to lose than Europe by angering Trump. Yet this is the response of its president just now.
This isn't a global phenomenon. Why have Europeans proven to be so uniquely cowardly over the past year?

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

It's honestly incredible how pathetic a statement this is from just every standpoint.
We must hear the excuses before we start repeating them, otherwise we might give contradictory justifications.

Starmer is very obviously a far worse human being than, say, Boris Johnson is. Johnson is a thief, a fraud and a reflexive, instinctive liar. Starmer and his pals are coldly calculating, willing to do and say more or less anything, however horrific, for power and status.

You're asking them to understand "why was I so badly fooled by all of this?" when their whole identity is built around being clever people who get to explain the way things work to everyone else, and they *cannot* do that. Can't even hear the question without getting mad about it.

If the best remunerated politics understanders in Britain yet again cannot explain the most obvious shit, and they never get fired for being bad at their jobs, then you have to conclude that either a) they are paid to not understand, or b) they have been hired *because* they cannot ever understand.
The deepest analysis of Labour’s woes Chris Mason can offer involves poring over polling %ages, wibbling about comms & halfhearted gestures at y’know, social media & stuff. If you’re after anything about its wildly unpopular policies or strategy of wooing people who hate it, sorry, he’s not your man
Why 2026 is Keir Starmer's make or break year
With devolved elections coming up, questions over Labour’s direction and internal 'campaigning' already underway according to some insiders, where does this all leave the prime minister?

There is no mystery here: vaguely left wing people don’t like being mocked, kicked and insulted; the permanent reactionary spite voter (now Reform) does not respect people they already despise sucking up to them and fawning over them, and nobody likes the project, full stop.

Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.
Notably, $420k was incentive-based.
A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.
I wonder what the per-post rate is?

The thing to note is that even as it does finally just become open fascism and looting, nothing changes: much the same people in power and on TV, saying much the same shit and continuing to roar denunciations at the same people. Which tells us things about what their actual job is, doesn’t it.
