people have largely fallen into the trap that without an "algorithm" that recommends us and enless stream of shit to "consume", we would be lost in a sea of "content" to be consumed

reject that premise, it is a false one

let's go to the wonderful land of music for a while. **you don't need spotify**. spotify is hurting not just the artists, but your mental health

this is not a fully articulated thought, but consider this: a world where you have your music playlists, that you own in a digital format and you don't have to stream

nobody can take those files away from you, and the benefits to that alone are immense, but there's more to it

each album you get, it becomes *yours*, it becomes *special*. the conscious decision to take this piece of music and put it on your shelf (digital or otherwise), that is your humanity being restored

being fed an endless stream of "art", which might as well be procedurally generated (it might be soon if you don't do anything) was never the point.
