Lala was great, you could upload your own MP3s and stream them or you could purchase them directly (for download or streaming as a "web song"). If you were a registered member, you could listen to any album/song once at no cost (not just on their platform, embedded in web sites too).
Hearing that "cello" sample that Bush used made me feel like looking into a marble quarry and trying to see sculptures waiting to be released from the rocks.
When I was in high school, a bunch of AP students cheated off the valedictorian our senior year...when it was exposed, they hushed everything up rather than allowing a scandal that would ruin the school's and the students' reputations (some of which were bound for Ivy League schools in a few months' time).
Sometimes, the entire community will protect its cheaters.

Maybe you should try playing something different. A new challenge might encourage you to concentrate more and/or build neuroplasticity, and you could find some satisfaction there.
I'm 4th generation Japanese-American, and in no way whatsoever qualified to answer your question, but I'll gladly do it nonetheless: they prioritize the collective over the individual.
No, a nail technician is a job that sustains many immigrant communities. They may be faceless to you but they're real people getting pushed out of jobs. This "automation device" isn't anything like a smartphone.
It's exactly the same. Nail work is something that the lower classes cannot afford right now. Once the work of a nail technician is mostly or wholly automated, the service will become available to lower income groups.
The nail technicians meanwhile will find work in industries created as a consequence of consumers having more disposable income with which to spend on new goods/services, from having to spend less on nail work:
It is always those goods/services that are the least automatable that cost the most. If getting one's nails done becomes automated, we may see consumer spending shift to the next most valuable service that can't be automated, like home cleaning, caretaking of the elderly, massage therapy, childcare, tutoring, or barrista work. Automation allows us to enjoy a higher standard of living.
I feel the same. I watched (and enjoyed) lots of college basketball when I had roommates that were heavily invested in games' outcomes but never again since.
