I did that for a while but YouTube compression sucks, it's annoying, its slow, and modern phones act retarded when you feed them raw mp3 files instead of use an app. So I might as well use the service. It's all about convenience. Maybe if video games and film services weren't so SHIT, and they prioritized good service with convenience, people wouldn't pirate. Convenience and good pricing wins.

Payment models. Record labels get no fucking money from anyone other than established artists and bands, indie artists/bands can't get any money to support their lifestyles. Entering the music industry now involves scaling a massive wall at the starting line.

I hate being on my phone 24/7. So I got myself an old-school mp3-player, sd card and downloaded all my fav music one afternoon. Additionally you can add audio stuff you can't find on the corporate internet and listen to shit before you go sleeping, because you don't look at this shitty blue light you sleep in easier and are more relaxed over the day because you don't get suckered into consooming shitty content, even though you just wanted to listen to that one song or speech or stand up special.

This is the only one that really counts.
Regardless, Spotify is a highly destructive force for the industry. The payment system basically ensures that record labels can't make money taking chances on new artists, and indies can't support themselves.

It doesn't matter when nobody can find you and you have no way to make money and can't in this environment. 95% of people don't search for new music anymore, they depend on algorithms. Spotify gives you NOTHING, and there's no incentive to change the payment model because they're pretty much the only game in town.
The industry and the artform desperately needs a rival service that actually pays the artists their fair share.

I don't know why you're assuming I'm a musician. I can't hold a beat to save my life. I am a fan and its impossible to ignore that we're currently in a stuck culture that has not evolved over the past 10 years. Services like Spotify is one of biggest and most destructive contributors to this. Bands that could have spent a year touring and then a year off to rest and work on a new album are forced to tour 24/7/365 in order to support the lifestyle. Music is turned into content to be added to the gristmill in order to game the algo system.

This isn't about you, it's about trends and forces in the industry and economy. Those artists whose names you jealously guard like a little goblin can probably barely pay their bills.

Spotify is the cheapest option in my third-world shithole of a country, being the equivalent of $2 p.m. Apple is at $3.29 currently, and our dollar exchange rate isn't conducive.
I also use audiophile headphones HD660s, so I tend to hear artifacts in music if it's from dodgy sources encoded from 82Kbps lossy files.
I love music so, using evil Spotify is the only option for now, until Deezer comes back to our country...
