    Precisely. Tbh I would be comfortable paying more but only if it went to artists. At some point there will come a time when I go back to the 7 seas for music (especially given hdd sizes and the ease of streaming from your own library) but I feel pretty far from that at the moment especially as it’s the free tiers mostly that have been getting enshittified. But I think that’s roughly the lessons of the 2010’s - free products on the internet are either a loss leader to get you subscribing, or they’re probably selling your data to everyone.

    Even then, the free versions of Spotify/Pandora are miles ahead of radio when I was a kid. Pick one of three stations that caters entirely to mainstream normies and then have a third of your time spent listening to ads and shitty DJs.
