Companies love selling you digital stuff cause they are essentially giving you nothing (as in it doesn’t cost them anything).

I agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.
But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.

Yeah, I still think music streaming makes little sense cause usually people listen to songs over and over. Movie streaming makes more sense cause most people watch one title and not watch it again for years or ever.

Or buy (also) via something like bandcamp, when the artist is on it. They cut only 10% IIRC

On Bandcamp Friday they take no cut at all. All money goes to artist after payment processor fees. isitbandcampfriday.com

Bandcamp is in the rapid process of enshittification, so this is a temporary solution at best at this point :(
Emerald@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Not really rapid. They were acquired, but I haven’t noticed anything happen yet at all in my entire time using Bandcamp that would be “enshittification”
