    Music streaming has proven this for years now, all the major brands have massive collections that make its super easy to pay and listen to just about anything.

    Early Netflix proved this when everything was readily available for an affordable pricre.

        It felt good to live in a world where being legit was reasonable.

      Yep, you choose between Spotify, Tidal, etc based on price and how well the app works, not because one service has the band you like while the other one doesn’t (not that music streaming isn’t its own shitshow for other reasons, of course).

      The situation is a lot better with music, but it’s not perfect. There’s still issues with region locking content, and content only existing on one service and not another.

        There are also issues paying creators instead of rights holders
