i think, to be honest i don't do any of that and barely listen to music anymore.
i technically pay for music with my youtube subscription since it comes with youtube music
but alot of the charting and shit is based off streams and listens. id be interested in seeing who has actually gone platinum off sales alone the past decade. most who go platinum has that number bolstered by their streams

I still listen to music a lot, I don’t try to discover new rappers or bands anymore though like I used to. I basically listen to the same old shit that I like and always have listened to. Just since I’ve been back on this website I’ve heard of so many new rappers, never looked them up because I can already tell they’re garbage like the pop shot or whatever guy Immo posted about
And I guess in a sense musicians make money off me because I listen to the advertisements on YouTube and Pandora. Who in turn pay the people, I’m assuming. But yeah I don’t pay any service for the as free stuff. I just suck it up and listen to the ads.
But I don’t pay for the ad free anything on any site.
