In 2024 you can buy directly from the artists in many ways that are more beneficial to them than a streaming subscription.

I make it a point to buy a couple of albums a month from Bandcamp. The artists get a much larger cut than whatever I have been streaming of theirs, and in exchange I can listen as much as I want, completely offline, without any surveillance of my listening habits.

Yep, I buy from bandcamp where I can. Where I can't (usually bigger artists) I can usually buy from qobuz.
