Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding
madame_gaymes@programming.dev 3 weeks agoExactly. Happy to say I’ve never experienced this issue in my entire life. Like how I’ve never experienced buffering issues where the quality drops, or doesn’t playback at all; never had to pay for a second service because the first one I chose has album A but not album B; never had a power or internet outage stop the music.
It’s amazing that you can do so much more for so much less cost, yet people just keep giving these rich sheisters all their money they don’t have. I think based on my last comment, it’s laziness and convenience is just a spin to make it sound more acceptable.

For me, it’s the fear of getting caught.
I have got caught in my more vulnerable years. That was not a nice experience.

Someone else mentioned a similar comment. Pirating isn’t the only option in escaping the streaming services, though. BandCamp, for instance, you can download your music. They even have a special day every year where 100% of every sale that day goes directly to the artist. They just did that yesterday, actually.

Not just once per year. Next one is in August.

That’s a great resource for someone who owns a credit card or is down with PayPal.

It’s just one option. You can always go to the artists’ shows and pay cash at the merch table.
