    It’s actually more dangerous than that. They want to be the music distributor also. Yes, they are currently separate subscriptions, but with enshitification you know they’re going to link them into 1 package eventually, meaning if you want to stop 1 you’ll lose the other.

    An example of that would be, you(the artist) find a new Patreon kinda thing that takes less of a cut so you want to move there, but because winamp are also your distributor if you decide you want to leave, they’ll also cancel your distribution removing all your music off of online platforms like Spotify. It’s a seriously dangerous path to take as an artist.

    They are not the llama we once knew. This one I think is a wolf in llama skin.

    I’d love to be proven wrong.
