I got to them in Telegram before they ever had a nostr presence. And before they had messages auto-delete in Telegram 😅 I have 3 main concerns:
1) They build out RSS feeds for their artists in order to distribute their music to other Podcasting 2.0 apps, but they do not surface non-Wavlake music feeds in their own music player app. Walled-garden content approach. So self-hosted albums like ours are not surfaced in Wavlake.
2) The RSS feeds they build include a value tag that points 100% of the boosted sats to Wavlake's node. They then do all their "splits" in their black box behind the scenes with 0 transparency.
3) Because of this implementation, they can rugpull artists who are from the "wrong" countries. Early on a Russian music teacher had taught his students about Wavlake and had them upload some songs. These songs received sats from Wavlake users. When they went to go withdraw the sats they earned, Wavlake said "sorry buddy you are Russian, we are keeping your sats." This is antithetical to Bitcoin and frankly the most offensive of all the things I've seen from then so far. As a result the Russian teacher assumed this was a failure of Bitcoin itself and not just of Wavlake's poor/selfish implementation.
