Just torrents and I seed as much as possible. I knew about Usenet many years ago but, for whatever reasons, never really got into it. One day…

• quality
• organization of files
• proper metadata
• extras like photos/other images, lyrics, links, etc
• community (on various torrent sites, mainly)
• not being reliant on a company and centralized servers
• someone paid for the album… band made more from that one sale than how many streams of it? Lol 😐
• commands are crowding my CLI history. Lol

It depends what it is and maybe I’m not savvy enough but, I find it easier to use bittorrent still.

Some things are easier to find on YT or X streaming service so, I’d say multiple methods these days are necessary depending on what one is into.

To that end, I think we need to just reach out to bands and point them to a primer on uploading their music. Additionally, more people need to go to shows and start creating high quality torrents of smaller, more independant bands. As well as people creating torrents or torrent packs for the stuff that gets ripped from the other sources.

I’ve been looking for one of those!

Anyway, for $10-20 you can get any ol’ used car stereo from a junk yard that’ll work and have a 3.5mm aux port. You can even find some with USB and grab a dirt cheap 32GB nub/stick from Microcenter or wherever.

After the initial setup, it’ll be easier and cheaper in the long run than buying CDs. Less wasteful, too. Plus, nobody’s gonna see a CD booklet and think they might be valuable and break into your car. Assuming you keep them in there.

I’ve even seen USB stick mini booklets if you wanna load a bunch up with FLACs if your car system can tell the difference while cruisin’…

I might be mistaken but, I think cellular carriers force 480p. I always use a VPN and PipePipe, LibreTube, or Clipious so, I don’t know for sure. Lol And, I do look for PeerTube content sometimes.

Yeah, I don’t think any of the “creator” advert things you mentioned have much to do with the big G. I’d guess that 70% of that goes to the channel. Hopefully that much or even more.

Either way, as someone who makes music and goes to local shows, I generally avoid YT and other big platforms. I encourage other bands to upload to PT and FunkWhale. They may as well upload torrents with how much artists get paid from streaming, and use whatever third party tipping platforms.
