Music itself has no value now, streaming services killed that. If you like an artist go to their shows and buy their merch, thats how artists make money these days.
- piva00 4y agoIf you buy from Bandcamp the artists will get paid, it's not only merch and shows. Shows are not even possible if the artists you listen to don't tour around your area, better to give them some cash buying the digital files than wait for 5 years until their next tour comes anywhere close to you.
- jzb 4y agoIf you like an artist/band, buy their music as directly from the artist as you can. A lot of artists lose money touring. It’s difficult as hell for the majority of working musicians to make a living. If you appreciate them, buy their media, back a Patreon if they’ve got one, etc. Sure, see them live and buy some merch if you can, but that’s not a substitute for also buying their music.
