Besides this whole ‘get it from the streaming app’ business is indeed best suited for bedroom deejays. Everybody who cares about their craft as a professionL cuts VIP versions and dubplate loops that don’t get released on these platforms at all.
The real recent (~10 years) breakthrough in this area was/is that mixer producing companies (hardware vendors) would start implementing two CUE channels so that people can work better in a back2back session. A real game changer.
Or wedding / event DJs who handle requests. I would not delete the local files, but having a streaming service with popular music would certainly help.

If that is the case, I don't know a single DJs who cares about their craft. Makes you think.
Yea when that sentence started I was ready to agree until they made a point which seems more relevant to producers than DJs
Wedding deejays can play whatever nonsense they like, cause nobody really cares about them - people came for the wedding and bride, not to listen music. They came to see relatives, so yeah - perhaps this works for them to download random tracks. You may be right it works for them, but that’s not what a respected club artist (above the 500£ booking fee) would even dare doing on stage.
Deejaying is a lot about selection and sparsity of certain records. If I’m to play the same thing everyone else does - well why not leave AIs do it then and scratch the deejays entirely. Sounds like a nice plan for some corporate audio weirdo in Japan, but would be met with laughter in proper clubs.
No, that is definitely not true.
While you can find DJs that play obscure or ~vinyl only~ releases, there are also a ton of DJs who play popular music.
