    My lord the amount of “I have a REAL job” in here is too damn high. I work 8 hours a night, 40+ hours a week, in an automotive plant. My job can be very stressful, and physically demanding. So what?

    I don’t sit here and whine about people that stare at their screens (IT, developers, etc) all day. Are they really doing any work? After all, they are not performing physical labor.

    How is it that different for people who create content? I’d argue that they do more work, as they have to set up, film, edit and market their work.

    See how silly this sounds? A job is a job. Unless you own your own business, you are making money for someone else.

    Before streaming services were a thing, I had a very carefully curated and tagged music collection. But these days? Streaming is fine. There are a few songs, less than 10 out of a library of ~ 800, that I’ve added manually.

    But you don’t own it!

    For most people, they don’t care about that. They care about convenience. Open an app, search for a playlist/genre/band/song and hit play.

    AI music sucks, because it is so bland and boring. It is certainly possible that it will get better, but for the genres I listen to, I highly doubt that.
