Must say I am a bit confused about your post. I listen to mostly entire releases and perhaps skip a song or two. Brain rot? Perhaps I am dim. Most Aphiles don’t touch Spotify.
Streaming Leads to Brain Rot
The linked article doesn't outright say that, but the implication is clear. "Spotify Syndrome" is a threat to music lovers everywhere.
The promise of unlimited access to millions and millions of songs for less than the price of a single CD. When it sounds too good to be true it's because it probably is too good to be true.

"Streaming leads to brain rot" What kind of a stupid, lame brain, imbecile would stoop so low as to write such an article in the first place? Are you kidding me? Anyway, it’s always been commonly known amongst "Audiophiles" that Spotify isn’t of the highest sound quality for streaming music. This is why Audiophiles primarily stream their music at the highest of sound quality levels via Qobuz or Tidal, along with their high quality audio systems to facilitate high quality streaming. So, what are we talking here? Are we criticizing those non- Audiophiles who choose to listen to their music on a more casual, less than Audiophile caliber basis? The reality is that, most music listeners, and most music lovers in the world are, in fact, non-Audiophiles, and really could give a rats ass about what’s going on in our little insane Audiophile world. Neither do they care about what the heck we think about them, as they’re just going along their merry way simply enjoying the music. Some stupidly arrogant Audiophiles have a habit of taking themselves way to seriously, thereby taking some of the fun out of the hobby, as well as taking some of the fun out of the pleasure, enjoyment and the experience of music listening in general. Music listening is supposed to be a pleasurable experience, no matter how one chooses to listens to it. Happy listening. |
Streaming through Qobuz is the most wonderful advancement in music delivery technology in my lifetime. The very highest sound quality and access to over ten million albums. It is great. Not sure exactly what the article said, since the screen would keep going black, with a window wanting me to subscribe to The New Yorker. Some nitwit trying to get attention by saying something controversial. |
@ghdprentice Bingo!!! My sentiments exactly. |
