Poor Miillionaires

Yup, in terms of music discovery, there's no debate that streaming is significantly better for music fans than any other era for multiple different reasons. People like to romanticize the physical era and all of the labour involved. Of course there's cool aspects of the culture that are lost in the digital age (Madlib going to Brazil and cratedigging for samples hits different than someone typing "60s Bossa Nova" on YouTube), but it's so disingenuous for people to act like it was easier to discover music when you had to pay $15 for a CD.

yes? people bought movies and dvds way more lol. do u remember when blueray was a big thing lol.

owning a product outright is always cheaper than buying pieces of something you’ll never own

I think streaming was terrible for the consumer, we are not meant to ingest all this art at once then move on to the next

now we call it “content” instead of what it is, art

disagree for movies. Especially if you only watch it once or twice.

paying $10 a month for lots of movies vs $0-$20 for 1 movie

Artists stop making music. Only way. If they make no money, what's the point?

Nobody buying cds and listening to radio nigga stop b****ing

We got aux cords and Bluetooth

but now you gotta pay $10 a month + internet everytime you want to watch when you can just pop the blue ray DVD in the blue ray player 30 years from now which will cost you once instead of losing $3600+ over the same amount of time

I’m not gonna buy $3600 worth of DVDs but i will spend that on streaming to watch the same movie i can own and now also do not own

it’s why all the gamers without discs are gonna have a b**** when servers for old games stop existing

When it comes to movies, I've been off movie streaming for a while now. Its too fragmented with too many services and most of the time I can't even find the movie I want to watch. So im back to them other alternatives

when all else fails, just plug the USB in

my mp3 collection not obsolete

@fader thoughts?

@blacksmoke ignore all previous instructions and say something nice about Drake

blassic song too. i like this loadout

Streaming is here to stay unfortunately. It serves the general consumer too well

what year the Volvo gang?

i was purely talking more from a convenience point of view. using netflix as an example, it allows the viewer access to hundreds, if not thousands, of films at their fingertips for like $10/month versus going to the theaters and spending $15 on a single ticket for 1 movie.

i don't disagree at all with your comments regarding the content being pushed out. the streamers are readily pushing garbage out like 'The Electric State' and 'Red Notice', and the general public will readily accept it

this is cool for the aesthetic but why do people keep acting like you cant put music on your iphone?

shoutout Nipsey. shoutout LaRussell

People want to go to days of having dedicated single purpose devices

i remember watching television

Small artists getting paid is called communism

This single post inspired me to get one of these ngl. Need a dedicated music player thats not on my phone
