Are you cool with forks making Spotify playlists out of every rolling thread without permission?

it's important to remind ourselves that posters with garbage opinions don't actually have to make a meaningful difference in how we enjoy music

this thread is kind of like hunter thompson's "high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." except with urine and a subway seat

this thread is amazing, i love this thread

Actually one of the 28 was me as a joke vote. I'm cool with it too forks.

ILX establishment cannot contain forks, he's a maverick

robbie ca$hflo (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 29 February 2016 02:30 (eight years ago) link

I only voted not because like most I assumed it was a joke thread at first

space prophet wogan (ultros ultros-ghali), Monday, 29 February 2016 11:38 (eight years ago) link

yeah I voted "not" on accident because I didn't understand the question

frogbs, Monday, 29 February 2016 13:52 (eight years ago) link

But what if everyone who voted 'Yes' also voted so because they thought it was a joke and they thought 'Not' would be the obvious answer? We need a re-poll.

moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Monday, 29 February 2016 13:57 (eight years ago) link

Seriously. And we need to let it run longer this time so we have time to properly consider all sides of the issue and the potential ramifications of forks doing things without our permission. Let's set the new poll to end three years from today, and I'll start putting together a committee so that we can get formal hearings underway as soon as possible. This is not a joke, people. This is our lives.

wow 181 ppl regularly contributing to rolling threads... ilm is in rude health

r|t|c, Monday, 29 February 2016 15:49 (eight years ago) link

As I patrol all of those threads, I can say that number seems just about right as an aggregate!

ulysses, Monday, 29 February 2016 15:57 (eight years ago) link

maybe a LITTLE heavy... say about 150 total. And DJ Martian counts as eight.

ulysses, Monday, 29 February 2016 15:58 (eight years ago) link

are you calling DJ Martian fat

The idea of someone who would potentially contribute to a thread skipping that because of a playlist is to me absurd and I don't believe it's ever applied to anyone.

the weirdest thing about this thread was not seeing the consideration of some people who actually *did* buy the album many moons ago and/or lost it in a move, damaged it, etc decide to use Spotify to listen to it now.

I p much buy everything digitally now (love Bandcamp) but my physical media took a beating over many years and I never ripped it all, so often times I go to Spotify to listen to those albums, rather than buy em at full price a second time.

i do get the legit concerns for people who don't use Spotify that way tho - my scene is one that requires financial support so wouldn't think of not paying for the albums.

Spotify playlists of rolling threads make rolling threads 100x better for me. All the Spotify hate here is baffling.

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 4 February 2017 00:30 (seven years ago) link

bonkers and baffling...unless you're an artist I guess

Wimmels, Saturday, 4 February 2017 00:40 (seven years ago) link

spotify is tremendous garbage for rolling threads like hip-hop where artists are often not on official above ground streaming services

it has also discouraged important voices not to participate

& its pure dilettante service

i hated them then and i hate them now. ban forks
