![]() I always preferred physical media anyway, resorting to digital only when I'm traveling, and such recent developments only motivate me to keep sticking to my records, dvds, books et al. The old system of "buy a thing once, and it's yours forever" doesn't make as much money for media conglomerates as leasing stuff to you temporarily via streaming, which is a format that lives and dies based on exclusivity of content. TV and film content is becoming increasingly fragmented across dozens of small streaming services, each charging a monthly fee, and I am certain that the same thing will eventually happen with Spotify and music streaming. I've become something of a physical media "doomsday prepper" in the last few years, because in the near future I see media as a whole simultaneously becoming completely dominated by streaming, and streaming becoming exponentially shittier than it is now. Any and all content can be revoked from any streaming platform at the whim of the companies that own them, and those who use those services have to put up with it.
