Leo Schuldiner🤘🏼I'm not that into old vintage tech.. I mean, I can't understand people are into music cassettes again. They sound very bad, they degrade over time, use and temperature... Vinyls on the other hand are almost indestructible: you can soak them and it's just matter of dry them carefully and they will live forever. Bad thing: the vinyl buzz... Some romanticize it. I think it is annoying. And then there is CD: perfection. I know it has a limited useful life, although I got CDs from 1982-1985 totally operative until today.
I use Youtube Music: (YT without ads + music, I think a great combo). And I couldn't imagine myself going back to an mp3 player or some "portable digital music player" for listening on the bus, subway or walking outside (like before). In home, ocasionally I listen to a CD, or a Vinyl.. (I had to sell 90% of my CD collection due to money issues during pandemic), so...
I try to spend less everyday, and subscriptions don't help at all... but youtube, mastodon and YT music is all I consume from internet. And -the most important thing- I just hate advertising (I even worked in advertising and marketing for several years to make a living 🫠).
I removed all my music projects from centralized digital platforms.: they're just on youtube (on their own channels) and bandcamp. I don't know. I think we must distance ourselves from centralized social media, alienation, vice, stupidity, depression and screen addiction, but I can't see myself organizing an iPod as I did almost 20 years ago, listening to sh1tty cassettes or using a battery CD player on the go... well. I've already vented xD thanks for listening!
