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.
In Poland streaming costs next to nothing, at least on Tidal. I’m regularly using radios and generated playlists containing music I don’t have in my collection, so it’s definitely cheaper than buying every album
I was using tidal for about a year but I just got really frustrated when my account got lost/interrupted when I updated my phone. I may go back for music discovery and playlists. However right now (and I plan for at least a few more months) I’m going to spend the money on band camp.
I plan to self-host a music server with music ripped from CDs, torrented and bought from Bandcamp and go back to listening to radio. We have plenty of good radio stations here.
