2 months agoBecause Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, etc. are so cheap or free that it’s not worth the trouble of setting one up for the people who have the resources to do it. Sure, download what you want to keep. But for Discovery? The streaming services are fine. And the people who can’t access/afford them also don’t have the resources to set something like this up.
Or: maybe we can just keep paid influencer scams off the fediverse entirely? IMHO we don’t need or want paid content creators here. As soon as someone can make a buck from it, the entire network will be flooded with clickbait, AI generated posts, and worse.
