Best thing for you in terms of getting to listen to indie artists, but what do they get out of it?

I only use Spotify (well, and YouTube for a lot of indie Korean artists...?). At least if they sell vinyl, I regularly go buy vinyl/merchandise from them directly. Not that I'm in favor of the "Spotify pittance", just that it's non-zero in terms of conversions.
They're actually visible? Without Spotify and YouTube I would've never stumbled upon some of the artists, bought their albums or listened to their concerts.
