I made a Proton account yesterday to start actually fully de-googling myself. It felt really good. I recommend it.

I see you missed my point.
I can’t believe I’m on the music industry’s side on this. It’s a sad day when I have to root for the team that’s made it hard for me to make a living while they fight against the team that’s trying to make me obsolete.
That 15 yr old cracked CS5 I have on an old hard drive is looking mighty scrumptious right now.
Like others in here, I find myself listening to whole records. Sometimes I’ll listen to a couple by an artist in a row.
I feel like I don’t listen to enough music. I try to sit down and actively listen to things when I can, but mostly I’ll get a record or two in while doing something mindless like dishes or yard work. Nothing gets overplayed this way.
The sheer amount of accounts I don’t follow and/or adds I DO see already do this for me. It’s a nice “feature” they added for me. Way to go Meta. I get bored fast now and close the app.
Seems like you’re hearing it perfectly, but not listening.
The convenience you required is now mandatory.
I do this too, thankfully I work from home. No has to listen to me but my cat.
As a musician who has been following this closely for a while, it keeps getting worse and worse. Musicians of my status have less and less opportunities to make a living off of our art in a world that is becoming increasingly easier to produce and distribute in. I’ve done this a long time and have had moderate success in the past. It’s to the point now though that the ways I THOUGHT musicians made money was never available to me, and the way we DID make money when I started almost doesn’t exist anymore either.
I don’t, of course. “Sir, this is a meme”
Weirdly, I am days fresh from a vasectomy.
I’m really glad this is being done, I just hope that it has teeth. It’s going to be very annoying when the next regime from across the aisle tries to repeal the rules again. I assume there’s not an easy way to make these rules permanent. I’m happy to be wrong about that though.
I’ve literally never had an account. I’ve never even like started the process. I get emails a few times a year from them because ONCE a friend invited me. This was over a decade ago.
