Is there like an indian major forum in which we can tell the millions of starving indians that they can get rich by flooding spotify and other western DSPs with AI slop?We need to accelerate the destruction and sloppification of DSPs.We need to burn it into the ground and see what happens then.
Normalfaggots will keep it going and Spotify will just co-op AI to keep 100% of the revenueStreaming will remain for another 10 to 20 years unless its financially impossible for them to keep existing
>>130220752I will never understand the hate for music streaming. Is it a gatekeeping thing? Like you faggots don't want a massive chunk of all recorded music readily available to you at any time? Does it threaten you that normies have access to things you consider underground? Perhaps your entire personality is based on enjoying music (lmao) and now that the barrier for entry is lower than ever, you feel devalued?And don't tell me its about money/supporting artists. Almost everybody here likely has pirated their media library. Then there's generals for people buying fucked used CDs and cassettes. Barely anyone here really "supports" music or artists outside of streaming it.
>>130221160Nta who is like this but I have taken myself up to download and fetch songs to gather flac files because streaming sites are expensive and I can't compile spotify with mods anymore because the big noses don't like it, it's Denuvo but worse>Use soundcloudI hate their music player ui and shit music reccomendations>Use bandcampSome artists isn't even on there so that's a skip>Use YT MusicAlmost perfect but I can't search songs in playlists for some fucking reason
>>130221859>it, it's Denuvo but worseNot a problem on console. Buy your music on CD if you actually want to put an end to streaming services.
>>130221160Shit quality, shit players, doesn't work offline unless you pre-download, a shit ton of music you just don't have on streaming, an absolute shitshow for scrobbling with all the (Remastered) tags plus it's dumb to be dependet on a company when you can just have your own local library. The recs system is pretty alright ig
>>130221160>just pay monthly for things that can disappear at any time because music licenses expire and demand expensive renewals bro
>>130222719Do you regularly listen to the physical media you bought years ago, all those CDs and cassettes? Watch the physical media you bought, the VHS and DVDs? And no, not watching a digital version of it you downloaded for free. No?Oh but, you own it so it's *totally* not wasteful. Your argument means nothing. Everyone pays for shit that will become inaccessible and obsolete through their life (assuming you're not an actual child. if so, just wait, it'll happen to you too). My entire physical collection is essentially useless. Yeah, I own it if that's the part that matters, but one album costs way more than a month of unlimited music streaming. Plus I can just download the stuff that's pulled off the service if I want it.Can't believe people really bitch about $13 a month for streaming. Minimum wage for an hour's work would cover that in most American states (sucks to be a third-worlder, huh?). If you think that's not a fair price, there's zero chance you spend any money on music to begin with. And it's ok if you're a music thief, but your opinion in this matter goes right in the trash. If you don't put money into the market, the market doesn't give a fuck what you think.
>>130221160For people I know who work in music it was the principle of music going from something you bought into to something that you just happen to come across while browsing around.Buying an album was always a sign that you actually cared about the band whos album you bought, instead of it being "oh yeah I heard your stuff on X streaming service along with 20,000 others".It's not even a money thing either since piracy with Napster/Limewire/Torrenting at least had you specifically seek something out, which was the same attitude, just not with any money involved. Live shows became more about people just checking out the thing they heard in passing rather than something they were an actual fan of.It's quite elitist, but it you live in a smaller country an go from having a small, but visible fanbase to a bunch of people standing in a circle with their phones filming it's quite jarring.
>>130223223>entire argument is build around initial statement reeking of projection>twitter gif to go along with itat least tell me your reddit ban expires soon so you can go back
>>130224041What am I projecting? I'm probably old enough to be your father and I have wasted unfathomable amounts of money on music, which amounts to nothing but a hoard at this point due to obsolescence. I'm talking from experience. There is no practical reason to go back.Your Luddite attitude disserves you. How will you handle the next medium? Technology will march ever forward regardless of your inability to cope with change. Here's another gif from a show that probably came out before you were born, because we're on a fucking imageboard website.
>>130224235see you even use the current tourist buzzword luddite (and i do know it has been around a long time)how do you justify streaming being even more susceptible to racketeering than old music distribution methods btw?
>>130223223You genuinely might be a retarded subhuman if you think physical media has no culture and serves no purpose other than to be more expensive than streaming
>>130224041>is build around
>>130225420>Has no culturePeople have cultures based on slaughtering chickens for good juju, culture isn't the point. Mediums and traditions exist and end for a reason. My great-grandparents thought gramophones were THE tech. And some people still enjoy em. Yeah, go ahead and embrace the culture... but the op, and the general consensus of dorks vocally against streaming, is that it needs to die. And it WILL in time, to be replaced by something most likely even less desirable at first, but it'll happen. If it's an argument of culture, sure physical media has a strong one, because it's literally *there,* mass produced and taking up space. But as retarded as it sounds, a culture will exist for streaming. Curated playlists, pre-saved album countdowns, whatever. Nostalgia is nostalgia, change makes people fond of things they didn't think much of. You could easily say there's a culture around the digital age before streaming. sharethreads here, blogsplots with mediafire and mega links galore. Neat, but practically replaced by streaming services. End of the day, I just wanna listen to tunes seamlessly, not be cultured.
>>130223223LMAO THIS>pay 10€ for 5 million songs AAAAIIIEEEEHHHH THAT ONE SONG COULD DISAPPEAR AT ANY MOMENT I WONT PAY FOR THIS >pay 17€ for 12 songs on album WOW THIS IS SO WORTH IT BECAUSE NOW I OWN THIS IMAGINE RENTING YOUR MUSIC LMAO (CD gets a single scratch and no longer works)
>>130226872>jumpet in to correct a typovery good job
>>130227420>a culture will exist for streaming.How is that supposed to happen? You cannot have a culture around something you can't control. Good luck moving Streamed music offline to an iPod or having a recommendation algorithm that works like old YouTube showing you mainstream and popular hits instead of narrow personalized slop.>You could easily say there's a culture around the digital age before streaming. sharethreads here, blogsplots with mediafire and mega links galore. Neat, but practically replaced by streaming services. End of the day, I just wanna listen to tunes seamlessly, not be cultured.Culture exists because of friction. If songs you find, add to your library and collect need surfing around the web for a while then you'll form a habit and an identity with other people. There's nothing unique or special about searching up a song finding it instantly or having it served to you by an algorithm and getting honed in to an echo chamber.>>130227477>WOW THIS IS SO WORTH IT BECAUSE NOW I OWN THIS IMAGINE RENTING YOUR MUSIC LMAO (CD gets a single scratch and no longer works)Music is free and pirating is easier than ever. buying on CD is purely for the culture and nothing more.
