Oh, hey, look at that. I just axed Spotify to save myself money. Fuck Spotify.

I said, 'fuck it, why not?' when the whole joe rogan boycott happened. Have not missed Spotify one bit since.

What do you do for music instead?

My mp3 collection is 2 weeks long.

In a lot of ways, this is where I'd like to be, but my mind hesitation to jump from Spotify (and comparable services) is the ability to discover new music across a crazy variety of genres. Especially since it's stable and uses the same controls every time, I think I'd have a hard time leaving.

Big tech got me addicted like that.

That’s the only thing I don’t self host. I enjoy discovering new music from various genres. I reminisce of the days when you would ask someone to send you a track you just heard over Bluetooth to your Nokia.

Those are rookie numbers! Get back to me when your in the GB's

Last I checked, when it says only a day long, it was 15 GB. It's been a few years.
