TransitBiker@ErickaSimone read the thread. What do you suggest we do about it? 
@TransitBiker stop engaging it is the most simple request, but that seems to be hard for most people. In a perfect world, people would enact due diligence and learn more about the fuckery, teach others and avoid that thing as a whole.
Too much to ask I know but whatever
@ErickaSimone rephrasing: how do we help support the artists create and be treated ethically?
@TransitBiker make sure you’re using ethical ways to support, support them financially, and directly if possible. If they have bandcamp, use that primarily. If they have merch, purchase. If they have a show in the area, go to it.
Usually an artist will let you know exactly what they need, especially if they are independent. Due diligence, again, is important.
Major label artists will be different, but the same energy applies. Consistent support is needed.
