Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

There's barely any ethical options anymore...
Piracy!
The two sides of Lemmy, Just a few posts over users were raging that Spotify only pays out billions of dollars to artists, now you're suggesting you just take their work and don't pay for it at all
If I were a musician it'd be hard to be mad at someone who pirated my music but still came to shows, and importantly bought merch
Which is to say, dear reader, that if you pirate go buy a t-shirt or something. You need t-shirts anyway.
they didn’t say go to shows and buy merch, just piracy
They didn't, but I am.
At this point in end stage capitalism, yes.
what is end stage capitalism? is this a euphemism for you can’t afford spotify?
Can't afford any freakin thing, really.
I want to go see a live show to encourage an artist directly? It costs an arm and a leg in fees because one company owns all the show ticket offices in all the venues.
damn! hope you are able to get a good job soon and make loads of money so you can afford things
Spotify is really one of the best things ever invented for me :)
Or how about we break up the monopoly for the event tickets business and make the outrageous dynamic pricing tactic illegal so we can finally afford to go see live events at decent prices.
how about we set our plans on more realistic goals like getting a job that pays well?
I'm not the government and neither are you, voters don't prioritise this issue so suggesting we just pop on down and break up the ticket selling monopoly is essentially meaningless
You must be trolling.
Many artists have issues with the ticketing services and recognize there is a predatory monopoly. Even Taylor Swift has a problem with it.
And there are no normal jobs that pay enough to afford a regular music concert ticket at over 500$. Heck, I make 6 figures and couldn't afford that with the current cost of living.
YOU must be trolling
How many music concerts are you going to that are over $500?
Do you exclusively go to Taylor Swift VIP section only?
No! That's the thing! I'm not trolling you.
My girlfriend wanted to see Bruce Springsteen last year and this is what happened. (Sorry it's in French, please use Google Translate)
I was spot on then? You are going to popular music acts which can charge high prices
