Remember: Stealing from big, evil corporations is morally correct.
Then let them die.
and? what do you recommend?
Supporting artists directly via bandcamp and other options.
If you can't support artists directly, and would have to buy physical media which supports the record label and not the artist...pirate.
Bandcamp is great but in the POV of a third worlder, bandcamp is never going to reach our audience. People barely make ends or spend much on other subs so paying separate artists not something people here would prefer. Maybe ideal for supporting one or two artists you love.
Sadly, physical media is dead here. Vinyl is still alive in some places but not here.
I don't support spotify but right now its the best here if you pay premium ofc. if there's a better alternative that's not geolocked, has good recommendation algo and pays artists better than spotify, i will be always happy to switch.
IIRC labels own bits of Spotify, so they get their money that way. They don’t care if their music on the app actually makes a profit.
You see, the music labels know that stealing from Spotify is morally correct.
