I mean, it's doubled and only getting bigger but I think the main problem is that some people are just not willing to pay for something that isn't tangible. I was one of those people for so long but finally just got with the times and got a Spotify subscription. I still buy music though because I ain't wasting data/downloading songs to my phone that I don't own. I like Spotify because it helps me discover more new music that I probably wouldn't have without it. It's algorithms are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
