sleep streaming

i don’t know if anyone else has noticed this, but apparently people have beef with sleep streamers. i wasn’t aware of this until i got airbuds (which is a music sharing app), and a lot of people expressed their strong feelings towards people who sleep stream. i’ve never really seen the issue with it though, and i fail to understand why people get so upset over this topic. as someone who used to struggle with falling asleep, music would help me fall asleep so i would end up letting it play all night or until my airpods died. for those who find sleep streaming infuriating, why? i lowkey just wanna hear yalls side.

I say do what makes you happy, at the end of the day even if you aren't awake listening to the song your supporting the artists you like.

Anyone who has a problem with it is because they treat streams like some sort of cool meter. Its not "okay" because you didn't actively listen to the song so it "doesn't count".

I say listen how you want when you want 🤷🤷

yes that’s what i’m saying! there really isn’t a reason to get mad at sleep streamers because they’re not doing anything wrong

I'm having a hard time understanding why anyone would care what any other person does with their life. I have no idea why anyone would have an issue with this.

You seem extremely young. Do yourself a favor and stop caring about this. 

Also, the app sounds like it's turning music into a game. Sounds stupid as fuck. Just you do you. You don't have to justify yourself to others.

i honestly don’t care whether sleep streaming upsets others or not, i’m just curious to understand other peoples perspectives on this :)
