Did you read the source code before commenting? Did you maybe notice a certain someone that linked to the code isn’t much of a contributor because his role is merch and marketing. Guess we can ignore his comments too, since he doesn’t write code.

im not the one virtue signaling about dont trust verify
It is very easy to be a consumer and spectator in this world. The fiat system encourages it. Demands it even.
The broader point is WL has generally been good actors trying to move open systems bitcoin and nostr forward. They deserve some respect and grace for that and dragging them over perceived flaws in their model is not cool. Not helpful. And also probably not accurate.
WE ARE NOT CONSUMERS OR SPECTATORS.
WE ARE ARTISTS, CODERS, AND PRODUCERS.
WE HAVE BEEN FULLY DECENTRALIZED MUSICIANS SINCE XMAS EVE 2021.
MANY OF US HAVE EMBRACED A V4V LIFESTYLE FOR OVER A DECADE.
But since you seem hellbent on me dragging this company, here:
Wavlake is the Spotify of Nostr and Bitcoin protocols and they have ALREADY RUGPULLED a Russian music professor because of the 2022 sanctions imposed.

"And also probably not accurate."
Maybe before you jump in to defend something you might want to do the research to find out whether the criticisms have merit.
I am not a "consumer", nor a "spectator" in this "world" I am an active participant and have helped generate millions of sats for artists over the past 90 episodes of LT. Many of which are WL artists.
I don't hate on WL anymore. I've come to realize that their way is just a different way of doing things. For me, their way doesn't align with my core values.
It doesn't mean that they're bad or evil, but caveat emptor, If one is going to use their services (or anyone else's) then is just makes sense to know how it works and learn about the alternatives.
Some methods are more liberty oriented than others.
