It’s really not something i consider worth my time and attention. I know your liberal programmed virtues tell you that supporting artists under capitalism with your dollar-vote is the done thing, but i don’t agree and won’t be wasting any more of my time trying to reason you out of such a convoluted position on something that barely matters.
You could play the world’s smallest violin for them. Couldn’t get paid for it apparently, but still.
More seriously, we probably disagree and I won’t try to persuade you. Abolish capitalism and all that is preaching to the choir, but while we will live under it, if an artist you like has a direct way for your support (cash, bank transfer, crypto, whatever floats your boat) that doesn’t fatten music labels, would/do you?
Maybe, if it were convenient. Won’t be though, so it’s not something I’ve considered at length. They went after the archives though, and I think the entire concept of paying for media should take any hit that can be issued in retaliation.
I feel like “not paying artists” makes as much for a better world as “not tipping waitstaff”.
