weird that minidisc never caught on in america
which of course means it "failed" despite it being popular everywhere else
cos those things refused to skipYeah, but they were much more social. I feel like sharing an album you just bought with your crush over a single pair of earbuds just isn't a thing anymore. Romance is dead and Spotify killed it.
it doesn't seem that bizarre. the comparison point at the time was physical albums, which were more expensive. unless you mean in the broader sense of "digital goods are weird because they don't cost anything to copy once they've been made"?
of course. just, at the time, no one thought that sort of thing would be even remotely possible. it's like how Netflix only succeeded because of piracy. neither music labels nor cable companies were going to give up an ounce of profit until people decided to steal that shit instead. the idea of a single subscription service seemed like a pipe dream back then.
Have paid $0.99 for a ringtone
Y’all are OOOOLD.
OLD
OLD
OOOOOOOOOOOOOLD
Like all cheap fucks, I programmed my own monophonic ringtones with the keypad until mp3 ringtones arrived, which I promptly pirated
But when you do get called at least you get to hear hit songs such as Soulja Boy - Crank Dat (2007)
Or if you didn't like all that popular music you could've listened to a guy obliterating a drum kit while squealing like a pig
I was about to ask if that was crazy frog’s hat? It doesn’t matter actually because whoever manages that account dunked on Elon a month ago.
The only people I know who own homes make at least 6 figure incomes or got a huge court settlement for a work place accident.
Just imagine the economics of this. They sold enough of a single ringtone that putting out a TV ad on a national network was profitable.
All of them I remember had you signing up for some horribly expensive subscription in the fine print, it was basically a giant televisioned scam but I guess it paid
I did buy a ringtone for 99p and i bought a wallpaper as well. Some Sagem pos I still have it as well and it still works. I should share some pics of it.
