Yes. You want to support musicians? BUY their work. Buy their merchandise. They need money to live! Streaming gives them almost no money! Musicians make more awesome music for you when they aren't literally starving!

Quite a lot of years go now I wrote a little book that did stupidly well... For the entire summer of 2011 it sat right at the top of the charts in the UK, and ended up being the 26th bestselling title of the year according to The Bookseller. It's 99p now, just coz. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DKK4MGN8

I do love that I can just glance up from my desk and see two marsh harriers quartering the meadow. When I did volunteer work at Minsmere in the 1980s, we monitored the harrier nests in the reedbeds because there were only a few breeding in the entire country at the time. #rspb #UKbirds

Instead, it keeps defaulting to what the algorithms want me to see; even the notifications are mostly from people and subjects I haven't chosen to follow. It really has become useless for anyone who wants to think for themselves. /2
