I buy books from bookshop.org, which donates a portion of sales to a local bookstore I can elect. The same can be done for music. I want as much of my creative dollars spent to go to the creative folks and local distributors, even if less convenient. I will avoid Amazon and Spotify as much as possible. Maybe that’s physical media (I buy lots of vinyl now, which I didn’t previously, which gets shipped to me via usps or fedex from the artist’s distributor), and it’s easy to play digital music I buy via Bandcamp through my car via my phone (Jellyfin and Plex apps).

Is it easy? It’s not hard. Making it easier is a market opportunity.
