I can not speak about movies and shows, as I don't watch either, I can speak only about music. For me, streaming services for music is no-go. It is not about money, it is about control. I prefer to listen only albums (not playlists, tracks, sets, mixes, etc), and I prefer to choose masterings & presses. Yes, Spotify has whole King Crimson catalog, but which masterings/remasterings among many? I don't know, Spotify doesn't provide this information and can change material at any moment without notification. Also all streaming services has stupid regional limitations (and I'm in process of transitioning from sanctioned country to "normal" one, good luck to use streaming services in this situation), and could remove whole catalog on whim due to some problems with label. If I can buy music in ownable format (which means mostly "if it is presented at bandcamp"), I buy it, no problem. If I cannot - I download it. Also, I'm still buy CDs on concerts. Again, it is not about money (I've spent on bandcamp much more than several years of Spotify subscription), it is about owning music I love in exactly form I want. |
