Make sure y'all brehs are keeping your old CDs and/or MP3s

I'll never abandon my SD cards

You’re not going to realize the importance of this until you’re in a spiritual psychedelic experience, your mind is downloading esoteric wisdom from the akashic record

You try to put on your favorite song and an ad for Carl’s Jr. pops up right in the middle of the peaks of your psychedelic experience



When you think about it you don’t even listen to that wide an array of songs. $10 a month is 120 a year, you don’t listen to 120 different songs regularly. At least buy them for $1.29 and then have them on your phone when you want on your demand, not some stresming service that is really just a data harvesting center trying to figure what is the best time to advertise a Gatorade to you

On YouTube movies they took the most legendary seen out of the movie Colors

This scene is not on the YouTube movie version

 

[teeswinger]

Same for movies honestly I keep physicals

 

[ShaDynasty]

Yeah keep it all. Its the preservation of music history, if nothing else.

Btw youtube is about to delete millions of unused accounts, any rare videos from accounts that have been inactive for 2 years will start vanishing in December.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

I hear you bro..... it's weird af that they would do that

My only guess is they have calculated that shorter songs = more streams = more bread

But I agree, it is stupid and pointless to do that

Not sure I’m correct here but why does it matter? Isn’t it you only have to listen to a song for only 30 secs for it to count as a stream? The total length doesn’t matter

I thought they backtracked on doing this.

 

[get these nets]

There was no good reason to dump CD or DVD collection. They take up no place if you use the slim cases. Even if you worked at a music store/radio station, could store your entire collection in two giant storage bins.

Oh yeah, seems like they will delete other inactive accounts but not videos "at this time".

Torrents still exist and Also YouTube.

 

[Won Won]

Been telling people this for years.

Cats "renting" music on these streaming services when the label can alter or remove shyt with zero notice, and you have no recourse.

I'm good on that.

Fred.

I made some playlists when Spotify first came out that I check once or twice a year, and songs are constantly grayed out and taken off the service

After that I started backing up all my physical stuff, movies and all

 

[Cladyclad]

the worst is when sample clearances cause them to use a different beat or completely take the song off the album

like, I HATE the verison of TI, Lets Get Away thats on streaming cause they had to change the cadence of the hook and take off Keri Hilson...shyt is like nails on a chalkboard to me compared to the og.....or on Mia X album, they couldnt use the stevie wonder sample so they got a generic ass beat for "You and Me"........Smoking Green not on the TRU album cause of the Isley brother sample... some of Biggie's songs got fukked up cause of samples...shyt like that

i still have all my cds and itunes library but it just sucks for the convenience of having everything in your phone

I haven’t listened to ready to die in over a decade because of this

It killed the title track and machine gun funk

 

[Pure Water]

I have 20k+ songs saved with redundancy because of shyt like this.

 

[ThaPrez]

Not sure I’m correct here but why does it matter? Isn’t it you only have to listen to a song for only 30 secs for it to count as a stream? The total length doesn’t matter

cos shorter songs = more songs = more bread

7 streams in 20 mins is more lucrative than 3 streams

and so you retain listeners in todays shorter song shorter attention span era

not saying they done that, just saying that's the theory

 

[BK The Great]

MP3/owning the CD gang still doesn't lose

I don’t really listen to them but can always import songs to my phone thru iTunes. I still got a boom box with a cd player though. I never got the point of not owning physical music.
