That's just so they can charge subscription fees.
One day I'll figure out if my Youtube Music subscription cost more than I would have spent on buying all my music.
- ghaff 5y agoI'm a bit torn with music streaming services. I probably subscribe more for the playlists and ability to try someone new than the music collection. I have a big collection, ripped and downloaded, but I decided it was too much trouble to systematically fill it out and curate it--at least for now.
- codetrotter 5y agoYouTube Music, Spotify or Apple Music (whichever one you prefer) is definitely worth it to me. I listen to so much music from so many different artists all of the time. I could never afford to buy all of that music in a long long time. And Apple Music, just like Spotify that I used to use before it, helps me discover new music all of the time. Also, streaming music from service like these, is much more convenient than owning the music. More convenient than piracy even.
- Consultant32452 5y agoI find, just for me personally, there is not more than 1-2 new songs I want to listen to per month. Buying the songs saves a few bucks (not a noticeable amount in my monthly budget to be honest) and also more directly funds the artist compared to streaming.
- tyrfing 5y agoI've listened to 6000 songs by 1500 different artists in the last year, and that's a drastic undercount due to offline listening and youtube viewing that isn't reported to last.fm. Buying music can't compete with that. Just sourcing the downloads would be a huge burden.
