No algorithm but buying physical media again is one path.

A few months ago I got a couple CDs and I'm hoping to rebuild my collection and get off Spotify. It supports artists better, and YouTube is still there to help discover new music.

Buy a CD a month instead of your service. A roll back for technology of course, but worth trying imo

Our musicians are getting fucked with streaming services and I like directly supporting them.

    That dossn't seem like "one path" if it's almost the exact opposite of what they were saying.

    Fine, yes. I was just throwing an idea out there. I don't know how to pirate shit anymore, and am to an age where I can afford to support artists directly, so if one can, one should.

    Where did the music to pirate come from back in the day? Was it not uploaded from a CD and then file shared?

    I did learn in this thread there are numerous other streaming services I was completely unaware of, so thats cool
