This is outdated and bad information. Most small artists lose money touring. Bigger artists might break even.
If you can buy merch, do that, if you can buy physically do that. Spotify is gonna pay pennies for thousands of streams, so nothing you do on spotify is going to benefit an artist. But “pirate and see live” is probably gonna result in a negative bank balance for artists.
If you want to support an artist pirate their music and see them in concert.
Some artists that people like may never come to their city
Buy merch

Nothing short of handing them cash in person is truly a guarantee. Really depressing how it’s turned out.
Unless it’s a ticketmaster concert because fuck them.
Nice try ticket Master!
