"Should I Quit Spotify?"
Â
More and more artists are stewing on it:
 Crap royalties! Algorithmic nonsense! Ethical hellscapes! A.I. Armageddon!
Deerhoof left in protest. Artists like Dan Mangan say they can't afford to leave, but are encouraging fans to sidestep Spotify. And many of my own friends are texting me saying "I want to leave Spotify. Am I crazy?"
So I made the decision-tree below!Â
Before you rage-quit the green machine, let’s talk consequences. Of course you should always do what’s best for you and your audience, so no shame from me either way.
But use this flowchart first, because you should understand the tradeoffs.
"Working with Chris Robley was without question one of the most meaningful pieces of my album release campaign, and was also the piece that I felt gave me the clearest return on my investment.
Chris set me up with effective, targeted ad campaigns and helped me to clearly define my goals. His suggestions for content creation kept me feeling inspired and excited about the process.
Perhaps even more importantly, he’s also a fantastic human being and a pleasure to work with!"Â

"I loved working with Chris on digital promo for my new album. His expertise made a measurable difference in my social media engagement during my album release cycle, and I learned a number of tips that I've carried forward into my day-to-day online presence.
Plus, he did all that while being a nice and fun guy to work with. I plan to hire him again for my next release."
