It’s a tangential distraction largely unrelated from the topic at hand.
In this context it’s worth being dismissive of.

So are we all

There you go. Good on you

Paradox of tolerance
Sometimes hypocrisy is necessary

Streaming isn’t the problem. The lables screwing over the artists on their streaming cut is the problem. Stop supporting the lables.

I was playing a role to try to make a point to the OP.

Judgmental attitudes ar an accepted cancer of online discourse. And I try to point it out sometimes.

Why do your feelings about how others pay for things matter to anyone?
Why does it even matter to you?

I was trying to be subtle, but that doesn’t seeme to be working.

The point is, lots of people enjoy music lots of different ways, for lots of different reasons. Just because you don’t use subscriptions doesn’t mean they aren’t valid and useful to anyone who isn’t you.

In short: Don’t gate keep

That’s no way to enjoy music. You can hardly hear anything on that tinny little phone speaker.

But why listen to just one song? It seems a waste to sit down, put on headphones or fire up the stereo, all for only a few minutes of music.

Maybe it’s just my age, but I never understood buying single songs. I listen to whole albums. They were crafted and assembled as a set. It feels like buying one scene of a movie, or one chapter of a book.

The Zodiac isn’t real.
If you enjoy reading horoscopes for light entertainment, that’s harmless enough. But under no circumstances should you ever think your “stars” might have any real effect on who you are or what you’re like. “Pisces Sensitivity” isn’t a thing.

Title and image matches

I like to say: It’s not even an illusion. It’s a dillusion.

I don’t know where this is, but I know both Coke and Pepsi don’t like to allow venders to sell both. They have special terms and pricing for exclusive contracts.

They do tend to be more expensive. But not extremely so. Maybe 20-40% more than a consumer equivalent.

I’ve decided my next TV will be a Digital Sinage Display.

Right!?
Does context matter?

I’m literally walking down an isle of a soon to be packed bus, with people infront of and behind me, so we can all get to our cars in a parking lot nearly a mile away. Is it the time for a chat, during the 2.3seconds we have while I’m passing?
Just totally suprised and not at all ready for that.

Some people here already don’t like that they can’t know if something they deleted is gone, or that literally anyone can see anything they do here.

This would just destroy anyone’s concept of data ownership and control. Which I kinda like.

But pire peer-to-peer distributed systems like this, mean you need to locally store everything you may want to see or read, or ever have. Which is not possible for most
