I know it sounds naive but honestly I just wish I could consume media and when I like it I can just send them some money without any hassle.
So the artist gets a cut of every stream? Isn’t that just Spotify’s model, which is infamously kinda shit for the actual artists?
Been doing that too (though not at the same pace). Like project Gutenberg has a ton of good stuff if you just let go of your preconceived notions about “the classics”. Like you could right now drop everything and go read Ulysses. I wouldn’t reccomend it (go read Dubliners instead), but like you could. It’s like a call of the void.
