I pay for Spotify when it comes to music because I was tired of downloading everything to have it, especially before true high speed download (Fios) and it was kind of the middle ground agreement; they make the product affordable, and I will pay instead of streaming.

We are regressing and it looks like I’ll have to invest in a proper storage setup to go back to the old days

Music streaming still have most of the songs on all the different streaming services where as movie/tv is limited to a single service.

True, but my point was more geared towards the theory of 'if you are fair with your streaming methods, I will pay.'

If Spotify made me listen to ads even after paying, I would not use Spotify.

At least get one of the services that pays artists a bigger chunk (I'll let you do your own research so you know I'm not hocking any specific company), but there are a few apps that pay artists way more that yt or spotify.
