I have been chatting through convenience with my kids.
As an example music streaming. I have spent the last 15+ years paying for it, to generally accumulate a song or two extra per month. Switched from Spotify due to their warmongering. Tried an alternative. More expensive and the app is terrible for the car. Tempted lately to go back to an iPod and some sailing. At this stage it really does look like an option. It’s not the most convenient but balance out privacy, price and usability.
I feel like I am going backwards as I simply don’t know what’s coming and I can’t trust the services I pay for in several capacities.
