2 months agoI’m not trying to be obtuse and I’m not against supporting artists. I’m just pointing out that a lot of people don’t want stuff they won’t use even if it does offer support. That’s why everyone will typically offer wearable merch. If you bought it based on how it looks chances are you’ll wear it. The reality is cds don’t get much use anymore, vinyls don’t travel and most people can’t tell the difference in quality or haven’t taken the time to notice it and will never unless taught.
For the most part it’s just a different browser and way weirder looking links that make navigation too much of a chore for average day to day users, but there are link aggregators, forums, and search tools for finding whatever category of the web you’re looking for.
