    So you want tech companies to spend money on features completely outside of the content and then also have the content, and expect that not to cost substantially more?

      I want content companies to make content.

          It has made music streaming cheaper.

          If you don’t like Spotify or feel it’s too expensive, do a google search, there are like a dozen alternatives, most of them cheaper.

          For Spotify you’re paying for one of the better user experiences.

          Like I said, you’re sooooo close to understanding
