    I will not get a Spotify or a Pandora

    I will continue paying the artists directly with Bandcamp and download the music and listen to it on my own terms

      What is "Spotify" and why does my minimalist and leashed and malware filtered Windows 10 system suddenly have it annoying me on boot-up as of 2 weeks ago?

      I don't want it.

          I would have downloaded it myself if I wanted it.

          When my OS pushed it on me without asking and made it a priority on boot-up, I got suspicious.

          it’s actually way more convenient than piracy

          The only reason I pay for anything anymore. I get HBO and Hulu packaged into my ISP and cell plans, so I guess I'll use them if I've got them. I've had a Netflix plan for years, primarily because its easier to click the play button than turn on my VPN and go hunt down a torrent.

          But, like, pro sports? Literally easier to pirate that shit than figure out how to stream it legally.
