This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer’s income actually goes to the artists.

Yep, if you buy the music you actually like, yeah that CD you bought at FYE in 2013 was $12, but that’s $12 literally 10 years ago, water under the bridge, and you can still use it however you want to use it.

Meawhile Deezer nuts is making you pay for a CD-worth of content every month. That’s 12 CDs a year.

Now That’s What I Call a LOT of Music.

This is my main approach to media. Instead of spending money every month on streaming services, I buy the media I care about. If I have to buy it on Amazon, then I pirate my own copy.

So I pay a CD worth of music but can listen to every new album I want every month? How’s that expensive?

And that is why I pay for things I actually use. And suggest other people do as well. I pirate the stuff that is being removed or I know I can watch free with garbage ads or if I went to goodwill with a dollar but still pay for my music and YouTube. I’ll get a lot out of my hundred bucks I give them a year and my artists know I appreciate them.

People are really used to free. They forget even their servers have costs even. Piracy should be a hobby or used when you don’t have the means because of circumstances beyond your control. Bit an entire fuck everything personality.

Yeah, and I’m not against piracy by any means, I pirate every movie I watch despite having Netflix, Disney+, Star+, HBO Max and sometimes Prime. We have all of those because it’s easier for my parents but God, Stremio is a lot better than having to find out which platform has the movie I want, and sometimes there’s no alternative other than piracy.

As Gabel said, piracy is a service problem, and I think that music streaming services are great and at a fair price, so I don’t see the need for pirating music as long as you can afford it.
