If it's a growing artist that's trying to make ends meet with their work, then I'll support them by directly buying their stuff, but most groups I enjoy are doing just fine, so I don't see any reason to in that regard. I do, however, make sure the services I use earns them ad revenue, at the very least.

Lol I realize I that could be read as moralizing at you, sorry. I think I was still finding links when you replied first and I probably would have worded it differently if I saw it.

Nah, you're good. I'm more than happy to support people, but the fact of the matter is that I can't help everyone, so I only directly support those that need it if I enjoy their stuff. But if they put their work out on Youtube, which I have a Premium subscription on, and they're certified, anything from them that I watch through that service has a channel of revenue that goes to them, and no ads, so it's a win-win.
