- echelon 6y agoFederated. There isn't a single music streaming service.
- JAlexoid 6y agoThere's 0 demand for it. Spotify and the likes addressed a need in the market. Advertising is still completely adequate method for compensating a lot of publishers. Others, who don't mind giving the aggregators 30%, provide you with the ability to subscribe from Apple Newstand and similar services. There's been a bunch of services that tried to do content access like this... uptake was completely dismal.
- Gibbon1 6y agoSpeaking of that why don't you select an ad network that doesn't try do malign things to your uses?
- JAlexoid 6y agoAd blockers block all types of ad networks. Maybe you should stop being an entitled freeloader?
- Gibbon1 6y agoWell then this is kinda your fault for not providing a market for ad networks that don't invade peoples privacy now isn't it.
- z3phyr 6y agoPeople will consume what they need to consume. It is on you how you profit from it without infringing upon the people's privacy or time or bandwidth. You should charge for your content and cast away the advertisers.
