The energy costs of streaming a song off youtube or spotify are orders of magnitude higher than playing it off your computer or a CD. People always underestimate the electricity required to keep the "Internet" running, because it's all behind the scenes.

This is just incredibly dumb.

(1) No accounting for population growth (50% since the 70s)

(2) No accounting for the much greater share of the population with disposable income to buy music

(3) Comparing "digital audio files" to retail music in the 70s

(4) "plastic production... used to store and transmit digital audio files": this same plastic stuff is used for countless purposes aside from music

"Matt Brennan is a reader in popular music at the University of Glasgow. Kyle Devine is an assistant professor in musicology at the University of Oslo."

tbf none of this refutes the concept that decentralization of technology is not a net positive for the environment, even before you factor in the risk of overreliance
