      The entire music industry is built to grift money from musicians and Spotify is a second layer of musician grifting industry built on the first.

    Some years ago, an artist who was not a mega-star but was on all the major music services published an article detailing how well each one paid. I’m now kicking myself for not bookmarking it. I clearly remember Spotify being among the worst, if not the worst.

      The musician I saw last week mentioned that he’ll get more money if you buy a CD from him now than if you stream his catalog on spotify for the rest of your life.

    I’m a girl, in a healthy BMI and with nice hair, pretty and freckled face, but my feet are super crappy. Like, crusty, toes bend at weird angles, hard skin in random places. Even my own husband is like “plz no, stop” if they get too near to him.

    I’m now wondering if there’s a market on the other end of the scale…

      There is. There’s a fetish for everything. Certainly when it involves your feet, I’d ask your husband if he’d be ok with some internet strangers paying you every month to see your feet, the worst is he says no, and on the other hand if he says yes you have a second source of easy income
