Oooo a fresh take on the reality of the situation.
Yeah, that’s the notion I think I most identify with. I was like “support better behavior for a relatively low cost? Hmmm I guess so, there’s a huge value here and it feels like an olive branch”
And hoooo how wrong we all were. Never again will I ever trust one of these companies. Now, it’s me as a user and everything is transactional and always with a free alternative.
I Personally refused, I bought every CD I could even digitally. Hell I’ll still buy some but it’s getting annoying and I don’t want to support certain platforms anymore. So now it’s like I’d rather pirate the albums, buy merchandise, and use Vanced versions of streaming services

Now that the streaming industry plunged head first into enshitification, we are back to our previously held practices
