    @deer_ful i think the fakeness is the adding of a plausible artist name that doesn't really map to an ongoing project for the purposes of credibility
  204. …in reply to @v21
    @deer_ful if these tracks were credited to "Spotify" then they wouldn't be fake. but there's an intent to mislead about the provenance of the tracks.
  205. …in reply to @deer_ful
    @deer_ful i didn't see the denial - but the accusation is that they were choosing these tracks for these playlists for reasons of reducing payouts
  206. …in reply to @deer_ful
    @deer_ful i reckon the actual truth is that Spotify has done a deal where they'll license stuff for cheap from producers (who made it for Spotify)
  207. …in reply to @v21
    @deer_ful producers make the tracks, invent the names, same as any other track (but cheaper). Spotify just puts them on the playlists.
  208. …in reply to @v21
    @deer_ful while Spotify encouraged them to do all this, they didn't actually do it themselves. but they have reaped the benefits (of appx $3m...)

  212. any platform for game discovery needs to spend 80% of their effort on making it good for players (20% good for devs)
  213. …in reply to @v21
    this might be a weird take, because itch is the one (small) site that has momentum. but even there, it's great for player experience.
  214. …in reply to @v21
    the problem is that what devs i know want is a good thing for discovering games for people who aren't that into games. which is obv tricky.
  215. …in reply to @v21
    platforms for people who love games & play a lot skew towards games you play a lot, pushing out short, unique experiences.
