Where is the threshold between supporting “the little guy” to “supporting evil capitalism”? At some point the little guy you support with money might become a super star. You still like his art but would you still support?
I do the same btw but this question creates cognitive dissonance in my small tiny brain.
The difference is how much money they’re making and how they’re spending it.
For pretty much all creators bitching about not getting paid enough, it’s so they can live lavish lifestyles without having to think about what they spend their money on.

I don’t think there is a clear line there. Avoiding the big names we all know about is a start, and then we all do the best we can.
