    I did. Look at my Spotify example. It’s literally more expensive to own the songs than to pay for Spotify.

    Unless you only want like 30 songs.

        Still cheaper, though.

        I’d rather have access to pretty much every song on demand for $4 per month and not own it, than pay per song.

        I pay $4.25 per month for Spotify. That’s $51 per year. I have access to pretty much every song, or I could buy 39 songs to own instead.

        I save more than 39 songs per month. Financially it makes no sense to buy them. Especially if you consider I get bored of some songs, and never listen to them again.
