Over a hundred dollars every year to not own music and to definitely fund fascism. Anyone who needs more convincing at this point has already convinced themselves.

And they don’t pay shit for royalties to all the artists that provide the content

Streaming music. What a great deal for nobody but the cynical middlemen.

I'll happily pay for a service that lets me listen to whatever I want, whenever I want, regardless of ownership. I knew that going in to music streaming, and I'm ok with it. If I want to further support an artist, I'll buy tickets to their concerts, merch, and even a signed album.

Yeah well, non-political conveniences were always a lie, and willful complacence is the entire problem.

Yeah, that is definitely a problem. I cancelled my Spotify account over their CEO's bullshit and switched back to Pandora, since they're the only service that doesn't incorporate videos. Did that for the kids.
