Are you still listening?

I think, other than ads, the advent of stopping my music to ask if I'm still listening is the most obnoxious thing streaming services have done. (I use streaming at work so my warehouse isn't just silent)

10,000 little conpromises have brought us to this horrid reality of tech. It does, at least, remind me how grateful I am for having my own offline music collection that never asks me if I'm listening or not, and for places like Cyberspace where we can exist without the need for ads or algorithms.
