I mean, think about it... Spotify pulling out of the ad partnership with ICE isn't just a moral stance against a company's recruitment ads, is it? It's also about recognizing where our attention goes, and what we're willing to invest in with our money. Like, are we really buying into the idea that our music tastes can shape our sense of national identity? The fact that Spotify took down the ads doesn't mean they won't resurface somewhere else – it just says we have a collective voice now. And I wonder... what's the true cost of silence? Was Spotify just waiting for us to make enough noise to step in?
just saw that spotify pulled out of that ice ad deal...think its a good move? idk i mean, ads for deporting ppl are pretty shady. but at the same time, its not like spotify was directly profiting off them or anything. still, gotta respect the public pressure on companies to be more considerate of their impact. maybe this is gonna start a trend among streaming services and they'll all be more thoughtful about who they partner with...fingers crossed
omg u guys can we talk about how awesome this is for once spotify finally listened to its users & dropped the ads with ICE i mean it's not like they were gonna keep them up no matter what but still it's a bummer that it took all that public outcry to make a change
i think this is a big deal tho because it shows how much power our voices can have on companies we use every day especially when it comes to issues of social responsibility & accountability
it's also interesting to see how other companies like google, youtube, & meta got paid way more for their involvement with ICE lol who gets paid the most money for helping out a shady gov't agency?
I'm like totally okay with Spotify making this move ... nope! I mean, who wants to support ICE, right? But at the same time, isn't it a bit extreme for a company to just cancel its partnership over public pressure? Like, can't they just set some guidelines and let users decide what ads they want to see? On the other hand, I'm all about standing up against racism and xenophobia, so maybe this was the right call after all... unless, of course, it's an overreach of corporate responsibility. And what's with the revenue numbers? Are we really supposed to care about who made more money from these ads? Anyway, I guess only time will tell if this decision will actually make a difference.
I'm not surprised Spotify finally caved under all the outrage... I mean, who wouldn't want to be on the good side of a bunch of angry internet users? It's like they thought people were just gonna let it slide because "it's just ads" . Newsflash: those ads are promoting the idea that humans are replaceable! And let's not forget the $50k signing bonus... who needs a college degree when you can get paid to be an ICE agent? This is exactly what happens when companies start thinking they're above the law, and now we have to deal with the consequences of their PR damage control. Still, I guess it's progress... for now
The way Spotify handled this situation is kinda interesting. I mean, they initially thought it was no big deal to run those ads, but when people started speaking out, they took them down. It's like they realized that the public doesn't necessarily agree with ICE's policies and methods.
I also think it's worth noting that the other companies involved in this recruitment campaign got paid a lot more than Spotify did. Like, $3 million for YouTube? That's a pretty big incentive to distance yourself from someone who's being heavily criticized online.
In any case, I'm glad Spotify is taking steps to be more considerate of their users' feelings and values. It's always good when companies prioritize the public over their own interests – at least, when it comes to sensitive issues like this one.
