From what I read, it’s more about stopping people using auto generated songs and uploading thousands of songs

And in 2024, Spotify will stop paying out songs which get less than 1000 streams in a year. Which means for me, as an artist in the early stages of my career, I am going to get paid nothing. I could get over 1000 streams on all my songs in total, but still get paid nothing. I could get 999 streams on a song one year and 999 streams on it the next year… and still get paid nothing.

As the author states in the previous paragraph, Spotify pays 0.003c per stream. I don’t think the author has done the maths. 1000 streams equals 3c. He’s complaining over not getting paid 3c as if that will fund his career

In that video you link, he speculates that the most logical explanation is f16s joining the battlefield

Newsweek now is referencing an anonymous US military source that Ukraine “likely” already has received f-16s

Okay fair, then we’re in agreeance

This was excellent!

Why would there be an official statement immediately when they receive them? They’d remove the chance for catching russian planes by surprise.

And you say “YouTuber speculation”, do you mean to say “Advisor to the Danish military speculates” … Which is a very different thing

Also ISW published this 2 weeks ago:

Umerov also announced on December 9 that Ukraine will soon receive F-16 fighter jets and that Ukraine is already preparing infrastructure for the jets’ arrival.[32]

And Newsweek reported weeks ago that the first batch of 5 f16s from the Netherlands had already arrived at the training centre in Romania, and that the f16s from Belgium would arrive in Ukraine in march or April

The Netherlands it seems has fast tracked the process, to make sure the f16s are delivered before the new far right leader gets into power after winning the recent Dutch election

No, a Danish military analyst who works for their military and specialists in the Ukraine war hypotheses that f16s is the most likely reason for the multiple Russian fighter planes shot down in recent days

And Ukraine war update channels are starting to share the news

As of 2 days ago (at least when it became publicly known), there are f16s being flown by Ukrainians in Ukraine. So clearly other groups could train faster

No, they stated that the dam destruction set back their river crossing breachhead plan by 6 months

Sounds like the want to ensure access to chips for missiles, and don’t get cut off like Russia was

You wouldn’t have your sentence increased from a fine to a prison sentence for trying to appeal against it though. Let’s not pretend that the legal system in Dubai and UK are similar

You clearly did not read the article

Since his reign began in 2012, Xi Jinping’s endless purges have removed millions of officials — from top-ranked Communist Party “tigers” down to lowly bureaucratic “flies,” to use Xi’s evocative terminology.

Millions of officials? This must be a typo?
