Ramen was sold out at the ol' warehouse club store. That is my low-tech economic signal that recession is inbound.
Also, when buying bulk ramen, the number of ramen packs you get is approximately half of what they used to include, for the same price.
I thought about experimenting with this (Guess it is a good thing I didn't). There are so many low effort "Lo Fi" types of streams and tracklists on Spotify and elsewhere. Who is to say my software generated garbage would be any worse than those?
There are also YouTubers who generate low effort music and ask their normal content subscribers to stream their shit on Spotify even if they aren't legitimately listening. So are those streams fraudulent as well?
It sounds like the thing he is getting popped for is the volume of automated streams.
