  So you pirate their work, giving them nothing, instead of using Spotify where they actually do get paid?

  So you don’t really care about the artist, it’s just an excuse to justify piracy lol.

  Dude just say you prefer to pirate. You don’t need to pretend to be doing it because of morals.

    Additionally Spotify pays them shit. A number of artists have done “pay what you want” including 0 for their music on Bandcamp, they all reported making more money in a week than multiple months of Spotify.

    You are also assuming I don’t find other ways to support artists, like merch, shows, patreon and Bandcamp.

  But how do you discover new things? I don’t mind paying for music but not if I don’t even know if I’m going to like it
