Sure, I also have a similar subscription for my wife as I’d rather pay than subject her to more ads. We’re all surviving under capitalism. I just ask that you throw a little cash at the independent artists. Thanks for considering. You deserve a better product.

I blame both capitalism and the capitalist subscription streaming service.

$14 for a good album + a good beverage makes a good ~45 minutes.

You can listen to an album on Bandcamp for free. Who’s buying an album before listening to it?

Sorry, I only listen on shellac.

the first paragraph:

Streaming has revived the worst trope of the old music industry: the album that is just “two hits and a bunch of crap.”

You might want to learn how techno is made. Analog kitchen has a class on live techno shows where everything is made at the show. They even go into DMX lighting and how to program it along with clip launching.

Once you know more than the surface level of a genre you can easily spot artificial slop. Like most things AI, it’s good enough to sound convincing yet be fundamentally wrong.

I upload as FLAC and they convert it to lossy for smaller files and compatibility. https://faircamp.org/ will also do the conversion for my static website.

Subscription streaming will never pay an artist the same amount of money per person as an album sale.

I think we’re scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society.

bruh…

If I didn’t know how exploitative the current porn industry is I’d defend the choking but holy shit producers are fucking vile.
