    I don't see how the industry can go back to a pre-streaming model at this point.

    This. It’s not just music, it’s that EVERYTHING media wise is attached to a streaming service now.

    Streaming hate circle jerk commencing

    Ya'll never gonna make me hate how much more I love listening to music since streaming

    thats not the point breh, they aint coming after your streaming

    jimmy is saying the deals that labels have with spotify are f***ed up

    the niche artists that make interesting music get f***ed by botters like drake who pay everyone to inflate their streams so they get more of the pie

    If streaming didn’t exist there would just be another predatory medium as is in the music industry for basically all of its modern existence

    no matter how much you love it, you dont listen to music enough to truly justify having access to so much

    literally none of us do

  • Not necessarily big but shows that you can keep motion by avoiding the streaming model. The 2025 pitchfork AOTY pick was a good example too.
