    See, this is one of the reasons why I haven’t listened to music in almost a decade. Paying fairly to artists is provably unaffordable for the average joe, unless a shady workaround like the streaming service subscription exists (and even then, that barely fills the belly of the artists that dedicate exclusively to art).

      That’s a pretty silly statement. I still have all the CDs I bought before streaming and they’re stored in boxes in a closet because they’re all ripped to my computer. Why wouldn’t you listen to music? It’s one of our (as a species) greatest creations.
