I was just discussing this with my wife. I switched to streaming services out of convenience but I find that the collection of my 'liked music' is easily 1/10th of my old MP3 collection(160GB?). Since switching to streaming the number of artists I regularly listen to has dropped dramatically. I played a song the other day for my wife and she said she had no idea I liked that kind of music. Well, I never specifically 'liked' it on my streaming service so it never got played(in over 5 years).
One thing I can say is that YouTube(pre-YT music) was instrumental in helping me discover a lot of new music. The suggestion algorithm they were using worked really well. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Spotify, which seems to trap you in a cave of your previous likes.
If I can find the time, I'm going to switch back to my MP3 collection. It will take some work, but I need to undo the damage done by streaming.
