You know, as much as I'm fine with setting sail to find video content that's hidden behind streaming subscriptions, I'm actually ok with paying £15 a month for Apple Music / Spotify, et al...
I mean, I'd say there's 99% similarity between the libraries of the big two streamers, so it's not like you have to sub to both to get all the music you want. I can listen to the same hardcore bands across most of them, and that's fine. The problem I have is that there's a bunch of shows on Netflix, another bunch on D+, more on Prime, and so on, and so on. So we're made to feel that, in order to keep up with cultural discourse, we have to spend out £70+ a month on half a dozen different services.
And nah, fuck that.
All that said, I do download some music, because I want FLACs to convert to 320 aac so I can load on to the iPod I like to use.
