Yup, they’re going down the same path Netflix is currently on, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. :/

They lay off 600+ employees but waste money on this shit.

Spotify stop making all the worst decisions imaginable challenge. It’s like they’re determined to lose their position on top of the streaming music pile.

For anyone who's spent money on nfts. I got an idea you can buy.

While most current NFTs are stupid, and the rest are barely better than that, NFTs in the future will have value. It’s only a matter of time before they start becoming mainstream keys to digital locks.

But we already have it where you pay for an account that stores your authorisation in their database.
What benefit is there to storing it in the block chain?

It's easier for you to sell it independently.
Not really worth all the blockchain infrastructure though.

You can take it and sell the nft to a 3rd person.
It’s like a digital album, you can sell it back or to a random store or something.
More interesting, the nft can represent a contract with a cut of each subsequent sale going to the original artist.
And if you treat it as a certificate of ownership and authenticity then you can verify what you’re buying before you ever buy it. Because every transaction is recorded in the blockchain. So, you’re not going to wind up with a random Spanish language version of Cleopatra instead.
Another potential us case bejng for ticket sales; the tickmaster shit couldn’t happen with that (and the nft could be treated as a collectible after. The same way as stubs are.)
There are a lot of utility things you can run (including programs) as well. Right now, it’s people figuring out what can be done. It’s the very bleeding edge and there are grifters. But like everything innovative… it will go main stream.

Digital keys can be copied manipulated almost always it's only a matter of time.

Yeah… that was an analogy. I’m not saying nfts are ready to go mainstream yet- but they will. That is only a matter of time. And I’m certainly not encouraging anyone to go out and stock up on shitty ai art, either.
But go ahead and downvote anyhow. Luddite.

I'm not the one downvotin and I understand the concept and the prescription for it but until we have VR everywhere and AR as common places are phones it won't

Thanks for trying to contribute. This is the most significant event I've experienced when a lot of people don't do their research. NFTs can be anything - not just images - that reduces the middleman for creators of art. That's just the surface.
My favorite feature of NFTs is the proof of ownership concept. Was your watch stolen and you can't prove it was yours prior to the theft? Well, future watches will have NFTs tied to them to prove ownership.

The luddites down voting us are probably the same sort of people that believed that computers were just a novelty, or the Internet was just going to be a thing for nerds and nothing important.
Most people hate the idea of it because they were told to hate it.
The reality is NFTs are the future. It’s not even the proof of ownership thing. We’ve only just begun exploring what they can be used for. DAO crowd funding with dividends? They can do that.
Proof of ownership? Sure.
Contain art or utility software? Absolutely. Act as digital access points with improved controls? Or even a digital key to physical controls?Certainly.
There’s possibly use cases for overhauling national elections to be something… with both complete anonymity and transparency.
Right now in the us… how do you know your vote was counted? really counted ? And counted correctly ?
That potential is probably what scares people the most.

The possibilities really are endless. It's this blind hivemind mentality that concerns me that 1984 can become a reality.

Why would you consider this roughly an entire year late? Sure, when NFT's were new and you could still trick a decent chunk of people into buying them, but now? Not to mention why would someone who uses spotify for music care about NFT's being mixed in?

Why should anyone spend money on this instead of buying a CD?

Why won't people let NFTs just die they are literally pointless

Spotify can't even get podcasts to sync across devices correctly (played status and progress of episodes). I don't know why anyone uses their apps, they're garbage. But alas they have exclusives that force you to use their trash if you want to listen to their shows.

Or I could buy a vinyl record instead. Sure I won't get 7.1 positional audio, but I get to watch a physical thing spin, and that's half the fun.

if you see a company starting to dabble in NFT's and other ponzi schemes you know they're on their way down the drain.
Also, who gives a flying fuck about exclusive playlist. Are the songs locked behind an NFT wall too? What music artist in their right mind would sign up for this. Sounds like a giant shit sandwich.

Once one company implements NFTs the rest will follow. Only a matter of time.

Honestly it’s a fantastic use case - particularly if they figured out how to give a unique NFT (non serialized) for music on decentralized storage - without a normative data structure. And jf they could revoke it for subscription services, even better.
If they can’t do either of these things, they should dm me - I have the patent to pull this off.
Edit: just read it. Players cards..? Seriously..? How lame.
