    Affordable for who? You don’t own any of it and are paying a lifetime fee

    With the amount of music I consume I end up saving money in the long run as opposed to having to buy each individual piece of art

    Dude has unlimited access to music from anyone at any time ever and thinks music has somehow gotten worse over time? People hate agency they don’t wanna pick the song they just want a song and to be told to like it

    Where are you getting that I don’t choose what I listen to?

    You have access BASED on your location and what these companies allow you to have access to

    For a monthly lifetime fee.

    Streaming has absolutely led to everything being short form to increase engagement and thus money

    Personal attachment to art that existed with physical media just can’t exist in a world where something “better” always exist for each varied moment

    Thanks to streaming, there are people making all kinds of music, go listen to the thousands of people who still make long songs, or take advantage of the freedom streaming gives you to go and listen to music you might never have discovered before from old era

    Agree currently streams (for music) are set at 30. Seconds I think even raising this to 1:45. Would get us closer to longer form content and longer songs again

    The “computer” just says you listen to x artist, other people who listen to x artist also like Y and Z artist, so we’ll recommend you Y and Z.

    That’s essentially what the algorithm is. Idk why yall try to make it out to be some boogie man.

    That’s better than some suit at a label dictating what everyone hears

    I’m saying it’s time well spent to research what you like on your own and get to now albums for weeks at a time

    Access to everything ever (for a monthly lifetime fee) doesn’t extend itself to that.

    How much is streaming monthly? Multiplied by 70 years and add in increases when they realize you don’t own anything

    Proving my point

    “Why love somethingr when you have everything?” Is the calling cry of every person who thinks streaming is the fundamental ideal situation

    But that’s not as great as it seems

    I’ve had Apple Music since its release and have paid it every month and it’s still not even close to what I would’ve paid for all the music I consume

    The only way streaming works is if you have a mindset that prioritizes consumption over appreciation

    Like $15 a month I think. Paying around a lunch a month to have access to an endless catalogue of music I love is a great deal. News flash, none of us “own” anything in this life if you provide the same level of scrutiny. With the amount of music I have downloaded, it would have costed 10x the amount I have paid from my years of Apple Music subscription

    Yes I agree but I don’t think streaming is what’s keeping people from doing that.

    I had streaming for most of my high school career and I’ve probably discovered more genres, artists, etc than I would have if I didn’t have streaming.

    I will agree that you’re more likely to sit with an album if you use to buy it vs just streaming it

    Dont just think of it in terms of America; I dont live in America, and here streaming is dirt cheap.
