    If I play one song, from one artist, once a day, for a year, the artist earns about $2 from me. BFD lol

      it gets more interesting if you calculate how much of the percentage of a user’s subscription goes to spotify, how much goes to labels and how much ends up in the artists themselves.

      If I buy one song from one artist off bandcamp the artist earns about $1 from me, which I can then listen to thousands of times without them seeing another cent.

      Then go buy the cd directly. Or donate.

      Y’all try to pretend like you are pissed where their money goes but then choose to ignore those options.

      It’s about you all just not wanting to pay, don’t try and make it assume noble bullshit.

      It’s bet none of you have donated directly to creators and if you have it’s less than $300 life time total.

            I mean I think that could be a fair price, clothes can be pretty expensive to make and you also have to live off of selling them. Of course I am in no position to buy them at that price but I’m a broke student.

              $100 USD for a hoodie is dumb expensive. I refuse to pay more than $50 for a hoodie, and even then it better be a high quality hoodie. Better make me sweat in 40 degree weather.
