Nah, if I want a specific album I'll just google it, and things like YouTube are good for random browsing. Would get into Spotify but i can't be bothered xD

I pay for my music. AMA.
I dislike streaming services like Spotify. In order to make a dollar, triple the population of my hometown needs to listen to the same track. Also I hate the idea that I need an active internet connection to listen to something I could easily listen to from my device.
When it comes to independent artists, I always make sure to buy their stuff from Bandcamp. That ensures that most of the money go to them. I even was a Patreon of a specific musician for a while. For commercial artists I use specific music websites or subscription-based ones that allow me to download the files to listen to offline (eMusic). For everything else, there's Noisetrade.

I'll buy a used/like new CD on eBay for like $4 on occasion, but usually only because I can't find a FLAC torrent of it. So usually I do not pay for music.
Do streaming services count? If so then yes.
Other than that, I buy albums from indie artists sometimes.
I don't pirate much of my music (unless you count YouTube)
So I guess yes?

its been a while - spotify/google music for me as of the past few years, but prior to that it was on board storage and around 10 gigs of my fave stuff.
my first mp3 i downloaded was Butthole Surfers - Pepper in prob like 1996ish and never turned back during the napster days.

Never tried streaming services. Always seems like a worse option than clicking related videos on youtube or something. While I may point and laugh at things like facebook and twitter I can sort of understand why some people other than me would use them (unchecked vanity and delusions that they are doing something interesting does seem to be a popular affliction), however to this day I have no earthly idea why spotify got big. It does not even seem to be an ease of use thing, though I guess it could sort of be that.
I guess I pay to go to concerts, and music nights at various places.
My music collection grows at the rate of about 1 album a year, less if the bands I like are not releasing that year. I am still one for albums as well -- good singles are almost look a good riff and things I can happily ignore. Good album or I don't care.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
