A semi-regular reminder that streaming pays artists crap, and if there are tracks or albums you listen to frequently then you should buy what you can of them. Anything is good, honestly, since the artist cut from just one track sold on iTunes is more than a few thousand streams of the same track on any of the streaming services.
@wordshaper Pretty sure that the 5 people who follow me are the kind of people that already know that artists make zilch from streams, but it's such an important message...
@wordshaper A lot of them I've purchased on vinyl or cassette back in ye olden days, then again on CD.
@wordshaper how is the economy of buying vinyl w.r.t. artists getting πŸ’°?

@mdx Given there's actual physical stuff that needs manufacture, as well as probably a retailer cut, I assume the total to-the-artist amounts from vinyl are lower than buying the tracks online.

Still, I suspect any artist that went to the trouble of getting a vinyl release wouldn't at all complain if you bought it. :)

@wordshaper Better yet buy from Bandcamp, especially during Bandcamp Friday.
@wordshaper this is what I do but I run into issues with an app to play my mp3 playlists. I've found myself wishing for an old mp3 player instead of a phone.
@wordshaper i'm one of those silly people who owns a physical cd for every track of music i listen to. (this also tells you the age of the music i listen to 9.9)
@wordshaper My next car will have a CD player. I was so pissed off when I realized that my current car didn’t have a player. The sales guy just implied I need to β€œkeep up with the times.”
@wordshaper Problem is that most content I like is neither commercially sold nor streamed.
