Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders. (open.substack.com)

Some artists that people like may never come to their city

Buy merch

[–] small44@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's rare for me to find merch worth buying, I prefer buying the music.

Maybe buying it directly from their website might be the better option in this case? 🤔

[–] small44@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's about the effort artists make for merch, I don't want to buy a t-shirt with a simplistic design or just a sentence on it

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I meant buying the CD/music on their website
