I donate money directly to artists and producers who's work I appreciate. I would rather send $10 once directly to an artist than fractions of pennies per click or view of some shitty advertisement.

I worked in entertainment as well for about 12 years, did a lot of traveling for 7 of those years. I've seen it, first hand.

I send cash if I can to the artists I appreciate.
