And now instead of reading bits from your local storage you are increasing your carbon impact by streaming from somewhere else...with pretty much 0 actual value.

No, I have my playlists set to download in Spotify, so I play them locally too.

And if you want to go there then consider the environmental impact of physical media. There's entire landfills full of vinyl records, cassettes and CDs. Streaming is the best environmental option out of all of them.

Fair enough.

You can buy music without purchasing a physical media. In that case you download once. I have a number of records I purchased from Bleep and 7digital.
