People willing to put in an effort to acquire and lovingly conserve the media of interest to them are often the people who really care about that media. They are often the most eager to support the creators of different media.

Which is extremely logical and obvious, if one can quickly lift one's head up above the "anti-piracy" propaganda of the major copyright-wielding creativity-killing companies spewing out the same drivel year after year.

Conversely, I have found that the same people who will happily equate "having a spotify subscription" to "supporting artists", who do things like attack people who jailbreak their kindle or whatever, these people are often the greatest thoughtless vibers when it comes to media. Try asking someone like that to name a piano player, or a bassist, or a drummer. Ask them to name three directors.

They'll know celebrities, not musicians or actors. They'll know to attack "pirates" on cue, but have no conception where their money goes every month when their subscriptions are billed.

I'm caricaturing, but these are my experiences.
