all this stuff with bands and labels removing their music from streaming services, or changing tracks, or licenses running out, etc. is why i have just started pirating everything instead. like, do what you want with your music i guess, but i only have so much money to spend on music every month man i'm not made of money. i will go out of my way to buy records from my most favorite bands (like red vox) but anything else man... that's what i have streaming for and it is becoming increasingly difficult to use through a mix of politics, corporate red tape, and enshitification.
@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club Free streaming for discovery, then buying MP3 or CDs for bands you like 😎
...is what I would say, but Spotify's vaunted algorithm hasn't shown me any good music thus far
