If you’re “making friends for this purpose,” they aren’t friends. The way you accomplish someone doing this for you is by paying them.

May the shittiest company lose (before both being blasted into the sun)

Thank you for the clear and concise response. Perhaps I should have been more specific in my intended question: Walmart is and has always been problematic. Why now?

Thanks Mom

Why? Is this some moral stance?

It was 2002. There was only one haircut.

I sure don’t mean to go off topic but it’s against TOS to have a favorite dog and not post a picture to back it up.

From the article:

"…journalist Liz Pelly has conducted an in-depth investigation, and published her findings in Harper’s—they are part of her forthcoming book Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist.

…

"Now she writes:

‘What I uncovered was an elaborate internal program. Spotify, I discovered, not only has partnerships with a web of production companies, which, as one former employee put it, provide Spotify with “music we benefited from financially,” but also a team of employees working to seed these tracks on playlists across the platform. In doing so, they are effectively working to grow the percentage of total streams of music that is cheaper for the platform.’

In other words, Spotify has gone to war against musicians and record labels."
