Poorcels seethe and cope as Spotify announces it's a business not some hippy dippy public service
The time has come for the Necromaster. The unleashing of the fourth joker's card. The arrival of The Great Milenko

maybe I'm just an oldstrag but paying a monthly fee for music is a completely foreign concept to me

While I generally agree with owning physical
Copies of media like books and movies, Spotify is so convenient and easy and the library is infinite so it's too good to pass up. It's so easy to just type in a song and it'll pop up. Purchasing the songs on my liked songs list alone would cost me thousands of dollars and I'd have to move my library around to all the different devices. $10 a month is a small price to pay. Plus it makes musicians with no commercial viability seethe that they don't see royalties for the 100 plays they got this month.

I recently went to a concert where the artist spent like 5 whole minutes between his songs sneeding about Spotify screwing him over

I love it, there's another service called
Tidal that is supposed to be more fair with royalties and Have better sound quality so I tried it. It was an inferior product and I cancelled my free trial after a week.

At some point Spotify reached critical mass. I think legitimately 90% of my friends actively use a Spotify account (like, at least once per week). It's almost like if it's not on Spotify, then it might as well not exist.
I'm still here with my carefully curated local music library. Free, doesn't use the internet (nice bonus since it reduces battery usage on my phone), no ads, and I can get just about anything.

I need a cd player in my car so I can play the Alice In Chains live show I got burned for me 20 years ago

Just use a cassette adapter or fm transmitter. Like you did when you got it burned.

At some point over the last 15 years we've normalized paying for things that can be free.
Same goes for Patreon, or tipping millionaire streamers or paying for streaming services.
It's a tax on poors

For the cost of 1 CD a month you can get all the music you could ever want. If I wasn't a cheap bastard and didn't know how to install a hacked version of the app that would be a steal.

Are you old straggiest enough to remember paying $15 dollars to buy a whole album just because you liked one song? Not 2024 $15 either.

When I bought a CD I would listen to it on repeat for weeks

Older CDs were even more expensive. I remember paying $25 ($44 in todays money) for a Sepletura CD in 1998. I didn't even know any songs, but a buddy said it was good. It seems ridiculous to think about.

LOL. Yeah, I'd pass this cost onto my customers too. Don't like it? Vote different next time.

What exactly does this mean for the streaming platforms? They have to feature Canadian crap or is it just a money grab from leafs so they can funnel it to MAID and the raking of leafs?

It's a money grab but is probably going towards CBC more than MAID.

Theoretically it's a money grab to fund the production of Canadian art so it can compete with better funded American conent.
That said, almost everything getting money from this funding is garbage and no one watches/listens/reads any of it until there's no other option.
