Spotify Promotion of Lali’s New Song Sparks Backlash from Libertarian Trolls

(in a British accent, with a hint of sarcasm and wit)

Ah, the army of libertarian trolls, led by the illustrious Gordo Dan. Sounds like a right bunch of charmers, don’t they? I mean, who doesn’t love a good boycott, especially when it’s based on the completely rational and not-at-all-petty premise that a music platform promoted a song by an artist who’s been critical of the head of state? (rolls eyes)

So, it seems that the Twitteratti, or X-ers, or whatever we’re calling them these days, decided to launch a “coordinated attack” against Spotify, calling for people to cancel their subscriptions and migrate to YouTube Music. Because, you know, that’s exactly how you show your displeasure – by threatening to take your business (and your music streaming needs) elsewhere. I mean, it’s not like they’re just a bunch of keyboard warriors with too much time on their hands… (chuckles)

And the cherry on top of this whole debacle is the lovely phrase “promoter of degenerates” used to describe Spotify for having the audacity to promote Lali Esposito’s music. I mean, who doesn’t love a good moral panic? It’s like they’re trying to make Spotify the new ” Video Nasties” of the 80s. (in a mocking tone) “Oh, Spotify’s corrupting our youth with their degenerate music and left-wing values!”

But, of course, the best part is that the whole campaign backfired, and Lali’s song ended up getting more traction on both Spotify and YouTube Music. Ah, the power of unintended consequences! It’s like they say: “There’s no such thing as bad publicity, especially when you’re a contrarian troll trying to cancel someone.” (laughs)

Now, I’m not going to pretend to be a fan of Lali Esposito’s music, but I do love a good underdog story. And what’s more underdog than being the target of a bunch of online zealots who think they can dictate what music platforms promote? I mean, good luck with that, Gordo Dan and co. – you’re about as effective as a kitten with a ball of yarn.

แดง soccupmidstep jump to the release of Lali’s new single, “No me importa” (which, for the non-Spanish speakers, roughly translates to “I don’t care”). Ah, the perfect title for a song that’s bound to annoy the very people who are trying to cancel her. It’s like she’s saying, “You know what, trolls? I was never what you wanted me to be, and I don’t care.” (chuckles) Well played, Lali. Well played.

The song itself seems to be all about celebrating authenticity and embracing one’s true self – a message that’s bound to resonate with anyone who’s ever been on the receiving end of online abuse. And I have to say, the stunt she pulled by promoting the release on the streets of Buenos Aires is quite the clever marketing move. It’s like she’s saying, “You know what, trolls? I’m not just going to hide behind my social media accounts; I’m going to face the music…literally.”

All in all, it’s been a delightful little spectacle, and I’m glad I got to join in on the fun. To all the libertarians trolls out there, I’ll leave you with a piece of advice: if you want to cancel someone, maybe try actually, you know, canceling them. Don’t just pretend to be outraged online; that’s just going to give the person more publicity and make you look like a bunch of muppets. Cheerio!

The Libertarian Troll Army Strikes Again

A coordinated online attack was launched by the libertarian troll army, led by Daniel Parisini, also known as "Gordo Dan", on Tuesday, calling for a boycott of music streaming platform Spotify. The reason behind this attack was Spotify’s promotion of Argentine artist Lali Espósito’s new single "I Don’t Care", who has been a target of permanent attacks by followers of Javier Miley throughout the year.

Spotify Under Fire

Users of X (formerly Twitter) began to carry out a massive campaign against Spotify, sending out messages calling for the cancellation of subscriptions and migration to YouTube Music. Some followers went as far as to label Spotify as a "promoter of degenerates" for spreading Lali Espósito’s music, whom they consider a reference for the political opposition due to her public confrontation with the head of state.

Spotify’s Promotion Backfires

In an attempt to promote Lali Espósito’s new single, Spotify posted "Lali mother of all Argentinians" on X, which only added fuel to the fire. However, the troll army’s campaign ultimately backfired, and Lali Espósito’s single ended up climbing the charts not only on Spotify but also on YouTube Music.

Lali Espósito’s New Single: A Celebration of Authenticity

After the success of her previous single "Fanatic", Lali Espósito has released her new single "I Don’t Care", a song that celebrates her authenticity and individuality. The song’s lyrics, "I was never what they wanted from me and I don’t care", resonate with her message of staying true to oneself. The single is now available on all major audio platforms.

The Release of "I Don’t Care"

The release of "I Don’t Care" reinforces a universal message of authenticity as a fundamental value and the importance of staying true to oneself. Lali Espósito seeks to build a space of genuine connection with her followers and new listeners, where they can meet in an experience of union and reflection.
