@thecoltinclark I don’t quite think it’s fair nor logical to compare the lifestyles of people from the 1960’s to the lifestyles of people over 60 years later. Besides that, the LGBTQ community has always existed. The difference now is that it is largely not illegal to be gay etc

@punitsingh176 I don’t quite see how the Apple Music UI is “complex” simply because it requires slightly more intent. You can very easily download any song or album after you have tapped the “Add to Library” button….it’s really not complicated
