    Artists can’t pay rent now. They make music though.

    I work for a better world. I do not look for excuses to reward corporations that steal from artists to burn libraries, thanks.

      I feel like “not paying artists” makes as much for a better world as “not tipping waitstaff”.

        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?
