Diy Music - Tumblr Posts

i've been looking into a portable music player lately as a way to become less addicted and reliant on my phone and as i watch reviews and read comments, i'm very disheartened by the amount of people screaming "sheeples" and spewing similarly bogus alt right rhetoric at anyone that uses streaming

beyond it being literally impossible to buy music from artists/bands in a lot of cases, it's also just so much more expensive in the cases that you can actually buy them versus using a streaming service

buying one album a month is the same price (if not more) than a months subscription to effectively every song ever

plus if you can't afford a dedicated device to music, you're going to be taking up a lot of storage on your phone for music files verses streaming over wifi/data

don't get me wrong, i absolutely loathe Spotify and most other streaming as someone very rooted in the diy and independent music scene, but to pretend people use it because they're just following the crowd is intentionally ignorant of the actual situation

tldr; in a shocking turn of events, people on the internet do not understand nuance
