I have zero issues with piracy and have a gigantic media server full of pirated content but I don't see how you square "company being hostile to artists and revenue sharing" with "I better pirate this music instead"

I subscribe to Spotify because it's convenient as fuck and has 99.9% of the music I want to listen to (and podcasts). Pirating music is a huge pain in the ass these days even with stuff like lidarr and private trackers.

I conveniently download tracks from Yandex Music from Inspect -> Network. What is not there, I get from Youtube. I appreciate streaming for music discovery (Spotify in particular was meh for that though), but having my actual collection just there and not locally? I can't really even comprehend that tbh, that seems limiting and inconvenient, not to mention lack of ownership.
