Wow, mind blown! I had no idea money could be used to buy things directly! /s
Seriously though, buying music from artists you already know is easy for artists that actually provide this as an option, but it doesn't help when trying to find new artists and songs to listen to. Spotify is brilliant for discovering new content and can't be replaced by 'buying shit directly'.
i suppose that's fair, but it's not like spotify is the only service that has music on it. Personally i've been enjoying nabbing music that other people use in media that i consume, or just bumping across something that seems interesting on the net somewhere.
I've gone from liking like two albums from a certain band, to liking their entire discography, just because i've downloaded it. You can absolutely still find music, it just requires some effort, and it's well placed effort i think.
