Well I'm not like against Spotify and whatever else. I do use YouTube for what you are talking about but like my daily music, the stuff I want to like actually listen to when I feel like listening to music. Hell yeah that stuff is downloaded. I'm not tryna listen to Crazy Frog all the time, only when I'm feeling crazy.

As for storage space, I really just don't think that's a problem nowadays. Course since it's hard as fuck to get a micro SD card in a phone these days you can be stuck with whatever amount the manufacturer gave you but even then 2gb worth of space is 32hours worth of music. That's a entire day and a half of listening to stuff before anything repeats. I honestly just can't imagine the kind of person to cycle through music frequently enough where that's a problem.

I use Apple Music, it fits my workflow better and I can supplement the streaming library with stuff I've got in my local library. Spotify technically allows that too but not as integrated as Apple Music.

For discovery, I don't use streaming algorithms as much, I've been using Rate Your Music for that. Got some great recommendations from its algorithms and its users. The site has been around since 2000 I believe, I'm convinced it will survive whatever the next phase of the internet will be.
