Spotify should remove the public display of listener counts and streams
It’s a catalyst for unhealthy comparisons. It creates misleading metrics like "monthly listeners” and incentivizes people to cheat so they can inflate the perception of popularity
Hiding the numbers would reduce the pressure to compete on inauthentic metrics and encourage a focus on the music itself. Look at Apple Music…there are 0 convos about how music is performing on there or if streams are fake…because you don’t know!! lmao as it should be
It’s nobody’s business how the music is performing outside of the artist and their team. We live in this weird time where everyone feels entitled to know everybody’s business because of social media
I get it tho, from Spotify perspective having the numbers public makes it a sport which in turn drives engagement etc etc
Our next single ‘Sorry I Broke Your Guitar’ is OUT NOW! 🍕🎸❤️

I can’t believe we’ve been playing this song live for over a year. So many people kept asking about it and it’s now out in the world 🌎 #newmusic
Do us a favor and put the song on repeat
BEHIND THE SONG: Scarlett Begonias originally from Grateful Dead and then covered by Sublime 🙏 we fused both versions to make our own ❤️🙌 recorded at Paramount Recording Studio B in Hollywood California 👽🚀
Finishing our album seems like a never ending process. We’re 100% independent and between having our own studio and organizing our own shoots we run like our own label. 🤘 patience is name of the game and we can’t wait to put these new songs out. The best songs we’ve ever written
