I just view it as a "try before you buy". I have loads of CDs and DVDs that I wouldn't have bought if I hadn't seen how good they were first.
If I try something and don't like it then I shouldn't have to pay for it.
But then you won't spend money on bad stuff! We can't get your money before you realize it's worthless! We can't have that, think of the "economy"!
This is the problematic view here. You think the monetary value is attached to the product itself, when it's actually attached to the perceived satisfaction you thought you would've gained before purchasing it.
I don't understand your reply.
I just don't want to buy an album based off of one song I heard on the radio and then find out that I don't like it.
Edit: a downvote and no clarification of what you meant. Thanks I guess. . .
You don't need to buy albums these days though.
P.S - I didn't downvote you
I like to buy albums, I think it's a much better way to support artists than streaming plus I like getting a physical copy, the artwork and the lyrics etc. But that's another debate and it was more just an example.
P.S. Sorry, the downvote seemed conveniently timed
