RETVRN

But in all seriousness, anyone else totally turned off/worried by the massive turn towards streaming music rather than owning physical media or even mp3s?

I still collect records, and a lotta people I know collect them and tapes as well. I don't listen to much mainstream music so I can find a LOT of what I listen to in vinyl format. Even then I know a lot of pop artists started releasing music on it as well. Why does streaming worry you?

I mean, ignoring how ecologically wasteful it is, just look at the all the issues we're having with other digital content; Books and games being removed from markets and people's libraries, popularity dictated by the controlling companies elevating their preferred content, old games lost to time because companies keep attacking emulators. If you don't have your own copy of something that you can control, whether physical or digital, you don't own it.

Ah I see yeah, that totally makes sense. Speaking of everything turning into a rental or subscription, reminds me of the fact that you have to pay a fucking subscription for car sear warmers in some luxury cars now, pure insanity. And also I guess there's the fact that any of that stuff stored digitally can just disappear in a snap. Like decades of cultural history, important or not. Kinda wild
