Growing up I was snubbish about a LOT. Now a days, I don't give a fuck about most of that anymore. Only things I can think of is I won't let and algorithm decide what I hear o what I watch. So no spotify or similar, no tiktok or instagram, I gotta be the one that presses play or scrolls by, thank you very much. Also no AI for me, fuck that. And won't toleratr ads online, ever.

    I went back to my old MP3 player, and I love collecting CDs, along with a handful of other ways I've turned back the clock. I live like it's 2006 and I'm so much better off for it.

    I use my phone or my computer, but only with a non-"connected" player (VLC). No recommendations. No ads. Just my music played my way when I want to play it.

    And of course given where I am, I have to hoist the Jolly Roger to get the music I want.

    I missed that whole thing with streaming, fortunately. I've never seen Spotify. I've seen Tiktok (because it's EVERYWHERE) but never bothered to check out an account and never clicked past the first link when someone shared a video. I've never looked at Instagram. And I'm 100% with you on ads: I'm ad-blocked to the hilt to the point that the very few times I'm forced to use an unprotected Internet (like, say, at a colleague's desk) I'm amazed anybody can find anything behind all those damnable intrusive ads.

    I'm also glad I never adopted streaming and a lot of that stuff, i did have ig for a while but the thing's trash. I agree I can't see how some people just accept ads, algorithms and honestly what amounts to visual and auditory contamination thrown at them all the time.
