I spend a lot of money in indie stuff- games, music, docus, books written by young academics, programmers, etc. And then I get the same content through other means. The experience is much, much better. I ensure that the "small" people benefit from my consumption- the people who will actually benefit from my $10/$20/$50. But I also have to keep my comfort and ease in mind.
