I mean the convenience of it all would say no, but these services have become so enshitified, they pull content constantly, you need to have a billion of different ones, and now they are putting stuff like Atmos and 4k content behind higher pay subs. Plus ads now too, which is infuriating.

So yeah I mean I'm sailing more than I have in the last decade. Because streaming is now just cable except I have to individually subscribe and not just have one subscription (which you just know is around the corner and then it will fully be cable 2.0).

I'm getting mighty sick of spotify too. The great thing about Spotify when it came out was convenience obviously, but moreso was that you didn't have jammed full iPods or your phone wasn't plugged up with music. But my phone's like 256gb now, that holds a shitton of music, it ain't no 8gb iPod. So barriers removed. And I wasn't pirating basically at all the past decade either. So they only have themselves all to thank now. Solely. Greedy fucks.
