content: Now now now. Calm down. There are still great artists out there. You are not going to find them on the radio or playing mega facilities though.  I had been collecting mp3's since I was a kid. Was downloading some horrendous versions at 96kbs or some shit that took 2 hours a song back in '96 via a 14.4 modem. In before boomer.... (GET OFF MY LAWN)  I was a hold out and kept downloading them well after I should have.  All that being said, the only reason I quit was because its so damned easy to just stream whatever to wherever. Gigabit fiber at the homestead and 4/5g in my pocket. Why would I try and manage 1TB of music on all my devices when I don't listen to most of it. There are just better options now.  I'm sure TV and Movies slowed down back when Netfilx wasn't completely trash.    It is fun to see it come full circle though. All the early adapters to streaming are starting to revert back to torrenting again. Nice.
