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.
