If you want to support musical artists, pay to see them live and buy a t-shirt or something.

But for listening... Don't pay some disgusting corporation to trickle a fraction of a fraction of a penny to your fave artist. That's not actual support, just corporate propaganda. Instead download or watch on youtube (with ad blockers).

I'd love to see some of them live, but fuck all those bullshit ticketmaster fees. I'll stick to buying their vinyls.

~~Support by listening to them on a paid Spotify account~~ Trump supporter

~~Support by listening to them on a paid Deezer account~~ owned by some other big company

~~Support by listening to them on a paid Tidal account~~ owned by some other big company

~~Support by going to their concert~~ Ticketmaster fees and practices

~~Support by buying vinyls~~ ...

Everything is enshitified and overrun by late stage capitalism

Fast fashion is killing the planet. Don't buy merch you don't need.
