It would have been better to torrent the music and donate a fraction of the money spent on Spotify directly to the artists.

engineer@rysiek Agree. I started to purchase albums on bandcamp. From one purchase that artist will get more money than from any streaming service I would use. Especially since I mostly listen radio stations, rarely play something from local collection.
Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK@engineer @rysiek if its not something like obscure 80s Europop/Schlager/piratenhits I can't find legitimately (in which case I tend to get the MP3s from YouTube or other sources), I just get them from Bandcamp - if I do listen to music these days its in the car (traffic conditions and road safety permitting), I have never used Spotify anyway and music apps fight with the navi announcements from the TomTom app so you get a jarring change in volume compared to the SD card or analogue/DAB radio, and I really cannot be arsed trying to debug everything involved to work work out why..

Klasterinis Baubas@rysiek artists, ha. there is one not very popular album, digital copy of which was ripped from the scratched CD in the early 00s and came to torrents in 128 kbps with notable artifacts - that is the version you'll find on spotify

@rysiek
Curious the breakdown for merch sales. Does the artist get more money if I buy a CD or if I buy a T-shirt

Irenes (many)@lackthereof @rysiek oh excellent question. we'd have to guess CDs are higher-margin, but we don't actually know.
gim@ireneista @lackthereof @rysiek yes and no - higher margin - yes, but the publisher takes big chunk of it
NNN@rysiek
It would help to have a trustworthy list of artists and the venmo/paypal/vipps accounts we can send money to.

@rysiek I used to listen to music on Spotify quite a lot. like, *a lot* a lot. one year the Wrapped thingy told me I'd been playing more music than 99.8% users in Poland.
doing some back-of-the-envelope math with the stats they gave me and the payout rates circulating online, it turned out that the artist I listened to the most that year got less than a dollar from me. a very cool and healthy system.
