cancel your Spotify subscription and buy some of your artists' music. even if you then forever listen to their music with adblock, you've likely made them more money.

Streaming subscription model was flawed from the get go: commodification of music, of art. Commodification is what rent seekers want — they want to turn everything into a commodity and include it on your utilities bill forever — that is not what those who create art and those who appreciate art want, at least that is what I thought — but no, a lot of people were perfectly fine with it.

Bussiness end of the music industry was fucked up in the 90s — early 2000s, people were starting to look into p2p for music. For those on the bussiness end of thing seeking new revenue models was a logical thing to do — and they have found it with streaming, but I'm clueless at to why people — the consumers went with it🤷
The artists in this case just followed suit — they still have bills to pay and they started looking into what could help them make a few more bucks.
