if you have a way of giving to artists directly, then sure, that’s fine! buying physical media from record labels etc. isn’t worth it imo, you’re just propping up an exploitative industry just so you can feel warm and fuzzy about supporting artists. i don’t want to pay for that, because i do not believe it is righteous.

my morality is that, I should limit my spending as much as possible, so as to bring about a complete economic collapse of not only the music industry but the entire economy. my morality is likely completely different from yours, which is why I don’t give a shit about your attempts to shame me. it’s literally meaningless to me. your (dis)approval and that of the wider society means less than nothing, because this society we live in is fundamentally sick and disgusting
