1. Discover artists through streaming
2. Buy hi-res digital albums directly from their website (or Qobuz where applicable)
3. ???
4. Profit!
Not sure I agree with this one. Yes, albums are expensive--I dropped close to 50 bucks for 24 bit flac of both the classic and new Wonka score albums last week--and that value is absolutely subjective when you compare it to, say, the cost of a movie or video game. That said, it seems ironic, to me at least, that we've gotten to the point where no one seems to bat an eye at another $3000 msrp IEM but somehow we're still reluctant to purchase our music. I wouldn't recommend gambling by purchasing music you're not sure you'll like (although, hey, we pretty much all did that back in the CD days--not every track was a banger), but streaming to me is a means to an end, a demo so I can decide if I'm buying an album. If I like an artists few tracks enough, I'll grab all their stuff just to archive. I don't hoard much, but I absolutely hoard music.
Alternatively, and to apply broad strokes to the larger digital media consuming community: nearly everyone I know has a large-scale flatscreen at home, but almost no one I know still buys blu-rays. They either wait for streaming or illegally download. Which is fine for momentary enjoyment, but less so when you want to watch an older film that a service decides to arbitrarily remove.
All of which is to say, yes, YMMV, but also, yes, I am still bitter about Disney+ removing TRON: Legacy.
