    Basically: should i care about ethics capitalist ideology?

    No.

    The system is literally genociding people, destroying the planet, etc. It’s a major mistake to take their “ethics” seriously. It’s just another grift. Enjoy the natural freedom of information while you still can.

      This, but at the same time, support the people whose work you like so they can continue doing it.

        Where is the threshold between supporting “the little guy” to “supporting evil capitalism”? At some point the little guy you support with money might become a super star. You still like his art but would you still support?

        I do the same btw but this question creates cognitive dissonance in my small tiny brain.

          I don’t think there is a clear line there. Avoiding the big names we all know about is a start, and then we all do the best we can.

        Hell yeah. I give money to small/individual artists and creators when I can be guaranteed they’re getting all my money. Everything else is fair game for me and I’ve never felt a bit of shame.
