I hate Spotify (I have to preface with this sentence)
But plenty of artists these days don’t bother releasing CDs and MP3s and you can legitimately only stream their songs.
I know small artists who were unable to send me the files of their own songs when I asked them. They just sent me a YouTube link and told me to listen there.
The obvious one is buying drugs. I don’t feel like arguing the morality of doing that but anonymous money is definitely useful for that.
