Like shit "selling merch" or whatever isn't new In the old days, if you liked the band you had to buy the album first just to hear the music, then you ALSO bought the merch Removing the first step is objectively taking money away from the band

Like yeah if you look at it from a purely consumer POV it "sucked" and you were always getting "ripped off", but you had no choice As you say, then, as now, people still paid for stuff and people still made a living It's just the greater burden was shifted onto the consumer
