There's plenty of boobs on the internet. It's this weird thing where people want to see as much as possible of the boobs they can't see.

Do we need to go through what autopilot in a plane or boat actually does again?

They’re saying chromosomes are a good measure for “transness” or “cisness”.

No, they're not. They're saying that because a person's chromosomes don't change based on whether they are trans or cis that a clear biological answer to the question being posed is impossible.

Like... did you read the rest of the person's comment? It's pretty clear they are not anti-trans if you read the entire context and don't just cherry pick a random sentence .

The person you're replying to doesn't seem to be implying anything you're arguing against in your response.

You said disaster movie, not scientifically accurate documentary.

If we're going "so bad it's good" I'll give you The Core.

You would need to look at the terms of service with your provider.

Looking at your Spotify page you will be an artist who gets nothing in this new plan. You have 14 average monthly listeners right now - each song needs 1000 unique listeners per year to get any sort of payout.

You can't just put your music on Spotify unfortunately. Google Play Music had the option to pay a small one-time fee to get your music up there, but they did away with that when they moved to YouTube Music.

If you're unsigned you need to go through a service like TuneCore to get your music on any of the streaming services.

It makes it so that I know some of my listens are just going to line Spotify's coffers. I have a number of bands I listen to who are under even 500 monthly listeners. Even if they're only getting a couple cents, I know they're at least getting something from my listens on Tidal.

No, they spun it that way by deceptively going on a rant about how many "songs get fewer than 1000 plays ever" and doing the math based on that in the "article," but that's not what the change actually was. If you read the details of the change below that, it is that they will no longer pay out at all for songs that get fewer than 1000 unique listeners per year.

You still aren't talking a ton of money, but if each of 999 listeners streamed a song once per month, the artist could be losing close to $40 per song per year.

Not really, they set a "minimum threshold" of unique annual listeners to get a payout. If a song has at least 1000 unique listeners per year it gets the same payout it did before. If it gets 999 it gets zero.
