This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer's income actually goes to the artists.

I'm still trying to buy physical CDs. It is getting more difficult, but they're still around.

This shitshow will only get worse, NOT better.

Yep, if you buy the music you actually like, yeah that CD you bought at FYE in 2013 was $12, but that's $12 literally 10 years ago, water under the bridge, and you can still use it however you want to use it.

Meawhile Deezer nuts is making you pay for a CD-worth of content every month. That's 12 CDs a year.

Now That's What I Call a LOT of Music.

This is my main approach to media. Instead of spending money every month on streaming services, I buy the media I care about. If I have to buy it on Amazon, then I pirate my own copy.
