Why do so many people prefer Spotify to Apple Music or tidal? How is pandora still relevant they seem so outdated.
I pay for tidal cause ..black people and the sound quality is great, then when you include all the videos and podcasts it’s a great deal.
Netflix for life $15 Been with them since the disc days
Audible $10
Funimation $7 (tired of shorty streams and subs)
Amazon prime $50
I would do the Disney+ package once they get more content
And wwe network $10
Oh and game pass I don’t remember the price but it more than pays for it self

im basically paying a basic cable bill but without the commercials and ridiculous HD box upgrades and I’m getting 4K content without having to buy shyt on demand

I like Spotify because I can get it cheaper than Tidal with their year $99 gift card that I can get another 5-10% off on. It has more variety of music. It has a dedicated Apple Watch with cross device remote control. It has my podcast incorporated into the app. It has incorporated social media functions. It's easier to share playlist.

Tidal had better personal mixes and better company generated playlist. It also had videos.

I really hope Google gets off their ass and makes YouTube Music better.

YTP is worth it as a "free" addon to GPM, and for the simple fact it carries across multiple platforms.

I will pay for YouTube Premium for the rest of my life. I'll never go back to YouTube with ads. I'll put it like this; if YouTube Music and Google Play Music weren't free with YouTube Premium I'd still pay for it. I got too many devices to be worried about what I can use on each to get rid of ads. YouTube Premium just does away with them at the account level everywhere. It also compensates the creators you watch.

Some stuff is worth paying for.

You know what else compensates the creators, probably more? An ad :ufdup: ads are not an issue tho, yooooooou can skip most of then after 5 sec. And certain shows rarely have ads for me. Vlad tv hardly ever do i get an ad. Anyways, what you get with premium, just no ads and the music stuff?

Platforms evolve young blood, everyone was on pandora at one point, then spotify came thru, tidal came on afterwards. Then what?

Pandora has a feature called hey pandora, works like hey siri/ ok Google. Looks exactly like iPhone siri when it talks. Tell it what you want, it plays instantly. I was asking for random songs like mobb deep and kool g rap.... instantaneously anything i asked came up. Then when it was finished it played random music from the same genre/era and it was doing the damn thing. Try it out, should be free. I don't think i have a premium account but I'm not entirely sure :unsure:

Also, Google play is free if you have Amazon prime but it is my least favorite to use...

I'm at a point in my life where I really prefer to pay for stuff and compensate content makers at at least the bare minimum. I used to pirate stuff all the time when I couldn't afford to pay but I can afford to pay so I pay.

I buy the $99 year Spotify card and usually get 10% off on it through my annual AMEX Best Buy offer. It's under $7.50 a month for Spotify. I guess my question is why not pay that if you can afford it and want the service?

I'm in the same boat. I grew up a KaZaa/LimeWire kid but now that I am making enough to get by without struggling, I might as well spread the money around to people that I enjoy creatively.

I'm pretty sure some of yall do OnlyFans and 'conveniently' left it off the list lmao.

It's absurd to think you're really downloading uhd rips tho, but the same file is shared like it got the rona. 4k streams are a thing too. I don't care to download but the option is there if i cared to
