@Devils_Rancher I know. I've been using paid Spotify as a way to preview albums (rather than downloading bootlegs), but if I find myself liking an album & I can spare the money I make a point of buying a copy on disc.

It's not much & it shouldn't be my job as an individual to remedy what is obviously a systemic issue (Art & artists should not be beholden to the fucking market!) but between that & writing my reps in Congress to demand universal #basicincome there's fuck-all else I can do.
