If you have an artist whose music you enjoy, they are likely doing it just for the love of music. Maybe think about buying a ticket to their live show, buying a shirt, sticker, etc. as a way to say thanks! The days of making a record and earning a living off of that alone are definitely in the sunset phase.

    Minimum wage for maximum effort (rehearsing, buying instruments, strings, sound equipment, computers, studio and many others). And still some people do not consider musicians do work for making music and, therefore, want music for free.

    maybe the artist need to start being thankful for their fans!!!! we who buy and spend our money on their music! remember, we don’t owe the artist shit!
