Mainly my music. I’ve long thought about a dumb phone to avoid gps tracking everywhere as well as the spyware built in and the needless looking at it all the time. But music and podcasts need to come with me wherever I go. So I’d be carrying something akin to a smart phone around anyway. Doesn’t really side step the problem effectively.
Well I dunno your tastes, but some newer music that isn’t shit (I’m an album listener myself, so I judge by the whole album):
Black MIDI - Hellfire
Adult Jazz - Gist Is
Billy Woods - all three of his newest (one is under “Armand Hammer”, called “we buy diabetic test strips”, the other is “maps,” probably the most widely accessible, and the newest is Golliwog)
Shellac - To All Trains
Fiona Apple - Fetch the Boltcutters
KNOWER - KNOWER Forever
Those few albums span some genres and should cover a lot of tastes. I can add some more if you’re interested, those were just off the top of my head
There is so much music today. To say new music sucks is wild
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
At least tidal pays the artists more
Sunken costs?
I’m saying it’s literally a free VPN. But they’re q company. If they’re offering you free shit, you’re the product.
How the fuck else do you think a for profit company is offering free tech?
But this kind of sounds exactly like the rationale these tech bros use to claim they know more than everyone and “these plebs just don’t understand”
