I am certain I have contributed to this statistic.
I was sent off the deep end after Spotify removed one song in particular from my playlist that I really wanted to listen to on one occasion.
We are only into the month of March, and I have already spent ~$500 YTD on physical CDs, BluRays and other multimedia formats. Last year I probably spent close to 3-4k on the same.
The rate at which I have pirated content (which is otherwise difficult to source on physical media) is also up dramatically since this incident.
I was so hyped when Spotify added my country. But I then found that most of the artists I listen to (Reggae artists, CHVRCHES) was missing from the catalog. I keep it for a little time as it was cheap, but did not bother to renew when my card expired.
