What’s the deal? Are people just going to continue to pay a never-ending rising cost of streaming? Surely this model can’t keep up, and I highly doubt people are listening to essentially the diverse catalog of music for that price. I’m willing to bet most people listen to the equivalent of a couple CDs in a month.
Are you guys just gonna keep paying for YouTube music as the price tops to $30 a month? Seems like every week these clowns are raising their prices.
I never had a spotify anccount and I’m still listening to the music I collected 20 years ago.
I have a Spotify account, formerly a Tidal account, briefly a Deezer account and I’m still listening to music I collected 25 years ago, I’m also listening to an absolute ton of new music I would never have found without Spotify,
If I was better financially I would support artists more directly, but the service is good (For my purposes)
Some bands I have found through Spotify,
Ancients.
Kanaan.
Slomosa.
Reign Wolf.
Tiger Cub.
Harold’s Last Chance.
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.
Ghost.
Lüt.
Sludge Mother.
Pist Idiots.
Velvet Two Stripes.
Goodbye June.
Be’lakor.
Green Leaf.
Psychedelic Witchcraft.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.
Spirit Box.

The Ocean.

My collection of records, cassettes and CDs have come out of storage and I started buying new ones. I might even start making mix tapes again.
This is when having a high-end 1989 Technics cassette deck in your 1986 VW Jetta Carat comes in really handy.
