Cancel your #Spotify today. Use those dollars to buy between 1 & 3 (or more!) albums on #BandcampFriday. Enjoy the actual, direct impact you had on someone's life. (Hell they might message you to say thanks!)

No amount of $$$ (or streams) spent on Spotify will ever change ANYTHING for the better!

It's great. But the best #contribution is to share it to the #artist directly maybe through their own #website or something. But not everyone have those. Also some artists pay less for the #instrumentalists and other session #musicians and just outsource some mixing engineer and finally just hold the album name to #themselves and #publish. It is fine, but let's say I listen a song and find just the #drums super cool and I want #tip or contribute to the #drummer.

That's the kind of #platform I really would love to see. All #artists and their work openly shared #metadata and #people have control over the #money spent either blindly on the #album or specifically to their liking.
