spotify is cool and all but it doesnt give you media rights of any kind, and it still requires proprietary software. All of my music that i listen to is raw audio files, flac, mp3, etc. I refuse to use anything else.
The sheer flexibility of being able to stuff it into cmus/jellyfin or whatever other software i feel like using is just too much.
For the average internet going pirate, it’s going to be a lot easier to just rip music from the usual suspect, rather than go pull up a bandcamp or whatever. Though at least with music its a lot easier to support artists without purchasing their work. So meh.
you wont catch me raising children both because im a mess, and i refuse to raise children in a dysfunctional society that hasn’t got its shit together.
