Apple has a creative marketing gambit for everything, including paying pennies per stream. I’m pretty sure they are on par with Spotify despite the misleading headlines. If we want to support artists more commercially, we are better off giving to a fund of theirs or buy their music and merchandise. There’s also Deezer, which looks like it tries to do something more equitable with the royalties. Apple Music and Spotify will not be expected to lead the charge towards adequate compensation for music consumption.

Here is the summer of our heart’s dispirit: Clock my read receipts.
