In the article they do mention Massive Attack, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Deerhoof and Hotline TNT delisting their music and then further speaking out in protest- removal being 1/3 parts of the listed "goal".

But really it seems like the discourse on Spotify is making waves again with the recent reveal of Ek's Helsing investment. Given this is the same dude who said that "the cost of making content is close to zero", it's understandable that people are speaking out.

This fundamentally rewrites the rules of social interaction, creating a panopticon where you have to assume you're always being recorded, forcing self-censorship and destroying the trust essential for any authentic relationship.

And because our antiquated consent laws and pathetic safeguards like a tiny indicator light are completely unprepared for this, you have no real way to opt out of their surveillance network.

The Truth: Lofi Hip Hop continues to flourish far beyond the profit-prioritized walls of Spotify's garden, a meticulously manicured space where genuine discovery is choked out by the weeds of algorithmic control. True artistry is blossoming in the wilder, freer spaces online.

Also I really recommend Shlohmo & quickly quickly for some fresh Lofi.

If the supermarket didn't use Nintendo's font, colors, imagery, or characters —just the name—then the court likely ruled that:

-No confusion exists since a grocery store isn't competing with a video game company.

-No dilution occurs because Nintendo's brand strength in gaming isn't weakened by a supermarket.

-Fair use applies if the name has a legitimate reason unrelated to Nintendo.

Same idea

And yet, this latest submission is the one that hits triple digit votes.

A small proof of the randomness of virality.
