That doesn’t change the fact that artists and creatives have no other outlet than to be beholden by their platform. Unless you’re going and buying hatsune miku fanart prints at your farmers market, unethucal consumption under captitalism also means trying to find out how to provide for the staff who still contribute to meaningful art, even if that is the set designer for an Avengers slop movie.
Yeah, obviously you should throw money at creators you like on bandcamp and patreon.
But Owen Dennis ain’t getting My money if I subscribe to paramount plus for Among Us, and he sure as shit ain’t getting any money if I watch an ad on cartoon network’s website while trying to figure out how to watch Infinity Train. I really love Infinity Train, but you can’t watch it legally anymore. And it’s not like Owen gets a big bonus if enough people subscribe to catch Among Us.
So anyway I just sent Owen Dennis some money on Patreon to show My appreciation for his amazing cartoons. And I’m still gonna block as many ads as I can!
