Saw a YouTube video of a guy who showed the lyrics on some of these songs.. good that this gets yeeted off of Spotify.
Would you have a link to that video, guv'na?
Thank you.
...what was in them?
It is a pro Ukrainian Youtuber that translated the lyrics to show how vile the rap is. It is vatnik gangster rap, glorifying the SVO as they call it, rapping about shooting zombies and using grad systems.
My link got deleted, I apologize to the mods if this breached etiquette. I watched it and wanted others to be aware of the nature of this kind of music and why it is good it was kicked from Spotify.
No worries. The music contents were so appalling that I had to remove it to be sure it didn't violate Rule 2 even if the actual video context was a critique.
Oh... Yeah. It was appalling.
Edit: I misread. Tx for the feedback
I want Spotify to add an option that let me opt out of russian music recommendations. I only listen to english or ukrainian music but the algorithm wants me to listen to russian musics. I am really sad because i enjoyed discovering new music by using the radio feature.
State sponsored propganda was milking Spotify for revenue lol
Anyone have the experience of starting listening to folk music on spotify and suddenly you realize the algo walked you over to Rhodesian songs?
