On: macOS keeps a huge wallpapers cache

[ipqk]

The cache is there for your benefit (and theirs too), so that you don't have to constantly re-download the same song over and over, which matters to some people that have bandwidth restrictions. There's a button in their settings that lets you clear it with ease

It doesn’t benefit me much as I have unlimited bandwidth and I can download an entire song in 10 seconds so don’t have any buffering.

I can see how it saves Spotify some bandwidth costs.

But I hate big caches as I don’t really think about them until my disk is full and I need to do something.

I wish programs would be better stewards of user resources.

I’ve had my music cached locally since the 90s.
