Spotify. I remember trawling through Sony music stores and Limewire trying to find new music, and when I did, that album would be on repeat for a week.
Now it's so easy to just find whatever, I've lost all passion for it.
Have you thought about stopping? I don’t use spotify, and I buy almost everything I listen to on bandcamp.com (with a few amazon outliers not available there, and one outlier who does not like digital distribution and requires me to order the CD via mail :D). I only listen to full albums, repeated all the time for a while until I only return to it once in a while. That also has the effect of more money going towards the band.
I too am transitioning. Have cancelled my membership to many platforms Netflix, Spotify etc. And now i want to just buy one thing and soak it in and remember each of that when I'm old.
Effortlessness doesn't leave any print on your memory of whatever you achieve, nor does it give you that feeling of fulfillment when u get that thing yourself after doing much more effort than just tapping spotify.
