    And streaming services will just take songs off albums

    Blessed by Q and Kendrick comes to mind like good god

    Bro snoop took off death row albums cause of a crypto scheme few years ago like come on.

    And bad faith fans still wanna argue why blankity blank artist defended blankity blank artist from spotify removing their content. Think of a dangerous precedent that s*** woulda set off.

  • insertcoolnamehere

    There are cd stores still. Even at barnes & nobles.

    The problem is we reached that point in late stage capitalism where s*** is outpacing the rest of society.

    Eggs cost as much as a house now dawg why tf is niggas gonna spend on physical media or even a tour if its not the top artists? Thats why folks cancel tours lol.

    Where the CD stores at? They used to be plentiful and on every corny and in every downtown area. My city closed the Barnes and noble. They don’t even have GameStops anymore lol

    That’s why open source AI matters and making AI cheap as possible matters

    It’s not.

    For example, these industries depend on consumers not buying physical media thus devaluing music even more to encourage things like AI voice filters.

    Lets say every American had UBI or just…a standard of living that could make em afford luxuries again, could prolly see an upscale in physical copies being bought again lol

    I agree with you but I thought we were talking about AI and the effect it has/will have on the arts mostly
    like I fully agree with you

    owning vinyl is cool

    we reached common ground itt with no bans or mutes. Today will be a good day.

  • The more we devalue art the more art gon be relied on gimmicks

    Atp, AI is the gimmick.

    And that person dumb no offense.

    TheBlackHokage has said on constant occasions why the owning of physical copies in video games is important when these companies can delist games faster than you can snap a finger and you not getting a refund back Nigga lol

    What if you play on PC where buying physical games doesn’t really exist anymore

    I don’t even mean for the aesthetics. My iPod is more reliable than any streaming service and the music can never be taken from me.

    The CDs in my car always work regardless of data and wifi and help me to focus on one album for a time as the artist intended.

    I’d argue not to do that. If you value the art.

    Imo thats a problem.

    As big as these games are becoming, there should be some way for it to be saved so companies dont have the ability to just take product YOU PAID FOR away from you
