Like that's the sense you get, anecdotally, when you talk to fans about the '90s and before Being into music was a constant tax, on your paycheck Back in the day you had to spend so much more just to keep up with shit Buying all these albums you listened to once and hated

It was the expense of being a fan It sucked, especially if you were poor, although you could get around the financial barrier to entry with a little effort (It's that price discrimination thing again -- bootlegs and mixtapes existed but they took effort to get)

You're now arguing against the points you made earlier. It's better now because you can get access for free, and then pay when you like it. How is that a greater burden for the consumer?

No, I'm saying the consumer was more burdened BACK THEN, and that meant the producer was LESS burdened Which is good, because producers matter more than consumers
