Bandcamp pays artists about 80% of sales. And prohibits AI music.

If you believe music is important, stop using Spotify.

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.

"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people.

"… over a third of… funding for the [U.K.] case came directly from Rowling…"

The purpose of blaming any and every tragedy on trans people is convincing each other "wouldn't life be so much better if we just got rid of all the trans people"

Hey you! Stop playing Fortnite!
News article snippet from May 30th 2025, written by Alice Linehan, that states "J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fun anti-trans organisation". Then a picture, then more text reading "J.K. Rowling is using her wealt to finance an organisation dedicated to removing trans rights. the Harry Potter Author has an" next line is cut out, but you get the picture.

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this

there are other, better franchises - let this one go

HEED THE OMEN OF THE ROWLING CUBE.
That one fuckass Hogwarts Legacy ctrl+alt+del comic except it's all fucked up and edited like: A boy makes a cautious approach, and a man lopes and gallops to grasp the pedestal'd game they so covet, "Hogwarts Legacy" Boy: "harry game" Man: "HARRY GAME. OOOOOOO !" BUT THEN they stop as the man realizes "fuck... That's Trap ." The boy pathetically sputters "it's harry game about wizard harry...." But no, the man says.... We pull back the camera: above the pedestal, attached to the game by an illogical rope doohickey, is a massive truncated pyramid, with the face of J K Rowling visibly plastered of each of its steep and menacing surfaces. Surely it bears enough weight to destroy them both. The man identifies the threat, "Rowling Cube"

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.
A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell. And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'" The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads: "Tweepcred is X's reputation system Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score It determines your reach Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked." SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation. SADIQ continues: "Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction Offensive username? 80% reach reduction All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization. Include links? Yup, penalized"

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.

If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!
luminouslyiii.bsky.social Luminouslyiii ✨⚔ @luminouslyiii.bsky.social · Nov 8
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.
