I think streaming music will be good for awhile at least, somehow, the fucking music industry got it right with streaming (At least on the consumer side, the artist side has been in trouble for some time now (esp with Spotify)). Most big services have most things and a handful of niche services to handle the gaps for the most part.

Xbox Game Pass otoh for Games is a wildcard, who knows where that shits going to end up lmfao people should get in on it now while it's still good lol

I mean, they're already doing exclusivity contracts for podcasts (eg. Joe Rogan on Spotify only), it's going to be a small leap to go to artists being exclusively on one service, and before you know the labels will all start their own streaming service, so you have to have different apps for Sony BMG artists, another app for indie artists, etc.

The enshittification is mostly pushed by wall street, who want instant bigger profits, and they're happy to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs in the process. Spotify is not immune to those pressures.
