i will own physical copies of music, movies, art etc. that already exist in this world! i will save them from the landfills and show them love on their journey of existence! i will not allow companies to have control over what media i can/should engage with! my attention and love will not be their currency! i will not allow them to profit off of the creativity, dedication and love of artist that they do not care about!

💿I love physical media and having tangible objects containing the art I love. I will never let any billionaire take these things from me

🎧I’m not super anti-streaming but I do think everyone should actually own (psychically or digitally) their music library again, instead of basically just renting it all. To think that any streaming platform is capable of removing any album or song you like at any moment’s notice is super annoying. I do see a world where both can co-exist where you use streaming to discover new music and use other means like bandcamp, cds, records, downloads, etc to support and consume a musician’s work.

💿i just deleted spotify a while ago and went thru this transition. youtube music is run by alphabet (google parent company). i have tidal and paid for a service to transfer all my playlists from spotify to tidal.
band camp + tidal has really good music quality and (tidal reportedly) pays their artists!
also i think we should all just return to local libraries of music on our computers or CDs/casettes/vinyl. i think streaming has commodified and convenience-cultured music into being this gimme gimme gimme interaction between fans and artists. when you have a physical media either an MP3 file or something else, it makes you (or at least me) proud to own a piece of this art someone put their whole heart n bussy into. i want you to have a mindful experience if you were listening to my music yk?
i do acknowledge that the systems we built are moving past physical media and streaming is obviously dominating the market right now but we can always change that tide :) power to the people forever, we have nothing to lose but our chains.
