Unfortunately, as someone who relaxes with music and works best with music on the background, and who has a constantly rotating interest in terms of genre (I.e a lot of different genres on regular cycle), buying even the minimum amount of content directly to match my current setup and routine would take thousands of euros. I don’t really have that, and doing it piecemeal would introduce inconvenience in having to either pay subscription still, while buying up the albums and singles I want, or having a very limited collection for the first few years.
Ugh. They’ve trapped me well.
I have considered sailing the high seas for everything I can’t afford presently, and catching up with actually buying as I can, but I fear I might just get attached to the convenience of already having it all and using it as an excuse subconsciously not to prioritize paying the artist. While I use Tidal, I at least pay something to the artists…
It’s a hard nut that needs cracking, but is simply too hard to easily just do.
