    vote with your wallet

    This is kind of non-sensical, in this context.

    The “huge bands” that the previous commenter was talking about are huge, because people already voted for them with their wallets. The smaller bands get “less votes”.

      In what way is it nonsensical? Does the fact that other people spend their money in a different way prohibit you from changing your own behavior? Do you think I am trying to convince every Swiftie in the world to never attend another Taylor Swift concert? Do you think I imagine that is a realistic goal? Or am I talking specifically to you, an individual user on Lemmy with free will and perhaps self-control?

      Place your vote where you want it, achieve the goals you personally find important. Change your perspective on what winning a vote means. This isn’t an election. You don’t have to be in the majority to win.
