Hey if you find value in paying a subscription go nuts, I won't throw shade
but i used spotify for almost 15 years. Averaged out to $8 a month that's more than $1400, and how much of that music do you think I own?
You can do what you want with your money but I'm not paying another dime to subscription streamers. For discovery there's still radio and youtube and ad-supported streamers, and I still find new artists at music festivals and local venue concerts all the time.
Spotify is a solution in search of a problem.
There's Bandcamp, also, for discovery.
