🔗 A retrospective on a year without streaming music — coryd.dev // Cory Dransfeldt

It was hard enough to make a living as an artist before streaming and it’s nearly impossible to now. Recorded music has become a loss-leader for tours and touring is grueling[2].

Artists were better off when we were toting around iPods, Zunes, Dell Digital Jukeboxes and buying mp3s one at a time. I think we were too.

With all of humanity’s music at my fingertips, I find myself listening to less of it than ever. That can’t be good, right?
