I have honestly no clue what you mean. Could you explain?
Which is why I'm actively searching for the best possible options.
When I learned that Spotify is fleecing artists, I moved to Tidal.
Then I learned about the French Qobuz, which pays artists even more, and I switched.
I support artists on Bandcamp. I buy physical CDs and will soon fire up a vinyl collection.
I'm aware that 100% of the money I spent on art doesn't go to the artist, but even if it's 10%, it's going to be 100% more than if I resorted to piracy.
Supporting piracy to show corpos the finger is the equivalent of stealing CDs from a music store, because the store price includes the store's margin, transport costs, manufacturing costs, and only a (relatively) small percentage goes to the artists.
