If I don't like the music as much or the buying process is annoying, I'll pirate the song. So yeah. It depends. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) Yeah, but Spotify is and always has been a really poorly designed app. Google sucks in a lot of ways, but YouTube Music is a great platform. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 6 months ago Depends on how you use it.

I've discovered a ton of music in the past couple years I never would have bought or even had access to, without streaming.
