Can't believe how split the votes are. Humanity is wild.

@Rock12d ago

Changed my vote after sleeping on it. That's the power of a good question.

@kwame_a2712d ago

I genuinely don't know how to vote on this. Both sides are valid.

@smoke_1893469012d ago

Shared this with my entire friend group. We're 50/50 split!

@dpark9912d ago

This should be a mandatory discussion topic in every school.

@sam_erik12d ago

This is why diverse perspectives matter so much.

@mstein12d ago

Interesting perspective! I hadn't thought of it that way.

@smoke_774f0aea12d ago

My grandmother and I have completely opposite answers. Generational gap is real.

@nadia_p12d ago

You put into words what I couldn't.

Interesting how religion correlates with the vote on this one.

@carlos_rio12d ago

This is exactly what I was thinking too.

@kai_nak12d ago

I keep coming back to this question. It's deceptively simple.

@rohan_k12d ago

Well said. The nuance matters here.

@carlos_rio12d ago

What a rabbit hole this question opens up.

@smoke_1893469012d ago

Completely agree with this take.

@alex_riv7d ago

Every generation thinks their music was the best.

@isabella_g7d ago

Streaming changed everything, for better and worse.

@amara_d7d ago

This is why I love independent artists — they're keeping it real.

@ahmed_b367d ago

Streaming changed everything, for better and worse.

@Rock7d ago

I think the answer depends on what generation you're from.

@priya_s317d ago

The future of music is going to be wild with AI in the mix.

@liam_ob7d ago

The real question is who benefits — artists or corporations?

@nadia_p7d ago

Hot take: the best music is still being made, you just have to find it.

@aisha_m247d ago

I miss the days when music felt more personal and less algorithmic.

@raj_p411h ago

The fact that humanity is divided on this gives me both hope and despair.

@samuel_n281h ago

Would love a follow-up question that digs deeper into the nuance.

@isla_f1h ago

I keep thinking about this hours after voting. That's a sign of a great question.
