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.
My music taste is pretty narrow and my music library is small (<800 songs). Buy my music on Band camp, then stream from Jellyfin. I wouldn’t ever pay for streaming. If I want to go through new music then I use a more targeted online radio (Jango is free and good,or YouTube is good enough for sampling).
It surprises me that people want to stream such a large amount. Do people just listen to random tunes? Happy to listen to anything? It would annoy me to try to recreate my selective music taste in an ocean of music like Spotify.
There is a lot of great music that I’ve never heard. (there is even more bad “music”) Once in a while I want to hear something different, and streaming does that for me. Not well, but I have a hard time finding something better.
