And nostalgia is only part of the picture.

    I never had a cable subscription (that I paid for), nor have I ever subscribed to a streaming service (I had Prime for years for the shipping, not the content).

    I own things, and I like it, much to the chagrin of the tech bros.

    Look. We already have a little computer in our pocket. Besides Apple can go fly a kite with their DRM audio files. Just let me own my phone.

    EDIT: iTunes used to sell DRM music a long time ago and then I stopped paying attention. They’re DRM free now, my bad.

    Eternally sad I can’t sync my old iPod Classic from highschool with Apple Music. Maybe I need to go find out what replaced What.CD and work out a good storage solution once the current silliness over storage(/RAM) ends.

    (On that, I bought a Samsung SATA SSD at the start of the year knowing things would get worse; lo-and-behold, three months later it’s x4’d in retail price.)

    While I like my iPods I think this trend is mostly found on YouTube, rarely irl. Maybe somewhat more popular in Japan too.
