Why do you think it's a shitty platform?

This post gives me hope.
I totally agree. Don't let the spirit of music die.
But it is good for someone that has no way to access her music. I wish we could all have a balance between physical and digital music one day. That way everyone can have the best of both worlds.

What kind of balance are you asking for?

To me it seems like we can have the best of both at the moment. People who like to stream music can do that and whoever wants to buy CDs can do so as well. Streaming won't stop anyone who wants the CD from buying them.

I don't really get why you are so against streaming services. Everyone has their preference. Some care about the streaming quality, some don't. Some want to own the CD and some don't.
I think services like Spotify make it easy to listen to music, so even casual listeners get to hear songs they wouldn't buy and instead (possibly) illegally download.

That balance is getting crushed. What happens to the people who want real music releases when more and more people sacrifice values for the convenience of streaming? That is why many of you may not care, physical music is not a threat to you.
The balance I am looking for is a coexistence of digital and physical. But that can't happen if one is supported way more than the other.
Being able to access music online has been extremely beneficial to me over the years. I am not quite against it existing, but more against putting priority of it over cds and vinyl etc. It's a great way to discover new artists and experience what their music is like. Also to try albums out before buying them.
But to only stream music is something I won't understand because to my mind, if you care about music, you would want the actual album. It represents the artists finished product. The manifestation of their creative ideas, brought to life. It's not just a plastic case with a disc inside that "takes up sooo much space".
So long answer short, I am against streaming services taking over, not them existing.
