Why is streaming music bad?

Streaming music can be seen as detrimental due to its impact on artists’ earnings, as many receive only a fraction of a cent per stream, making it difficult for them to sustain a living. Additionally, the convenience of streaming can lead to a devaluation of music, with listeners consuming content more casually and potentially diminishing the appreciation for albums and the artistry involved. Furthermore, reliance on streaming services can create issues around data privacy and ownership, as users do not truly own the music they listen to.
