> It is way cheaper long term.

Buying CDs would be so much more expensive than my Spotify subscription with the variety of music I listen to.

Another helpful element of the streaming services is no incremental cost to try out a new movie or series. I can start a new show and drop it 15 minutes in if I decide I don’t like it.

I will listen to 20 or more new bands each week on Spotify. It’s how I discover new music.

For someone who only listens to a small number of the same CDs over and over it might be cheaper, but it’s not a generally true statement.
