Dafuq is Team Liquid?

I read that headline five times and it just seemed like retarded ****ing nonsense.
After reading the article I pieced together what the headline is supposed to mean, but still some terrible, terrible writing.

an esports organization

basically the dude plays video games for a living

kinda has a cool story though, parents kicked him outta the house for being a lazy bum and sitting behind a screen all day and he ended up turning that into a career. he’s been in the LCS (pro league) longer than any other active player.

I poop myself a little whenever Spotify makes the news. It’s finally trading public and is getting valued at $25 B

I thought it would have turned to **** long before now but it’s held steady as a really good resource for a long time. I hope they don’t **** it up

**** it up by doing something like idk maybe contributing to the downfall of actually paying musicians for physical copies of their music and paying anyone who isn’t a top 100 billboard artists an insultingly low amount of money for their entire catalog of music

im a spotify user too tho so idgaf

Huh? Spotify doesn't pay anyone to host their music, they only pay for streams.

Streaming is convenient as **** so I encourage everyone to do that. I also encourage everyone not to be ****ty fans who swap buying physical music/merch/tickets for streaming.

Sell your timeshares as full time rentals for 12 bucks a month and get back to me

Musicians shouldn’t expect to make money off of recordings. The records should entice people to see them live. It’s their responsibility to make the live experience worth paying for.

Why would I support going back to the days when I marched my paychecks right down to the music store.

Another thing is that recorded music has only existed for about a century. Before that all musicians were expected to perform for an audience.

Bottom line: You wanna get paid? Put on a show, bitch.

And I feel like I have every right to talk. I’ve never met anybody irl my age who has spent a higher percentage of their lifetime income on music than I have.

I probably have more music on vinyl than you have on all mediums combined.

Timeshare mother****er **** talking me. **** that.

You tour the south and I’ll make the road trip, buy a ticket, buy your merch, and buy your ass a ****ing beer and a hamburger. And if you’re too tired to roll out you can crash at my place for free. Use my ****ter, take a shower, eat my eggs.

But I ain’t paying nothing online though.

You don't think that's also kind of archaic?

Also my philosophy is more from a fan's perspective of wanting to contribute to artists who I want to see succeed than an artist's perspective of wanting to be on the receiving end of that.
