This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Man I haven’t gotten that “30 minutes of uninterrupted listening” shit in a few months. I swear, they’ve been slowly increasing the amount of ads per song, from like 1 ad per 4 songs to I shit you not, 2 ads per song. I usually have to restart the web page since it gets stuck on desktop, or close the app on mobile. They’re probably overcompensating since they’re salty they aren’t getting any revenue from me.
I'll never understand why people don't just make playlists of music and save it down locally.
I had no less than sixteen hours of music in CDs stuffed in my glove box back in college. Would cycle through that maybe once or twice a month. Maybe I'd throw on a little NPR if I was curious about the news. But why on God's Green Earth would you subject yourself to the garbage radio networks available in the modern era?
Sending files from one device to another has been made intentionally difficult by phone makers.
It isn't really that difficult. I have a cheap, newish Motorola phone (3 years old) and all I have to do is make sure when plugging into the PC I switch the USB mode when it pops up.
Then it's literally no different from using the normal file browser. Get you a good media app and find the file storage path. (Hell, Musicolet, a fantastic, free, offline music manager, literally makes you create/select the file path yourself on first launch) then just drag and drop into it like any other folder.
Or get a program like MusicBee and just have it set to sync that directory.
I for example like the fresh experience so i really enjoy spotify discover weekly to listen through and find something i can put into my playlist. So in a way i dont have fixed playlist just my liked list
But i also pay for spotify beacuse i listen to so much music with constant new additions to my playlist i legitematly think its one subscription thats worth the money and pretty much the only one i even use with the exception of a month of Netflix when new bogdan boner egzorcysta drops on Netflix roughly once a year ( not really possible to buy separately, but that man is a genius of polish cinematography so i will suffer through it so that he may get my support and continue his work ).
I hate the pay for ad-free subscription model. They use people's personal data to optimize the experience, making their ads as annoying and disorienting as possible.
When Reddit first unveiled their subscription, they began spamming my phone with obnoxious herpes advertisements. The ad just said "Herpes?" in big purple letters. Since this particular subject invoked a sense of fear and anxiety, it made me more likely to pay for their removal.
