A lot of them sell physical CDs still. Especially indie bands. But directly from their website. Merch too.

Just pirate your music. It’s more ethical than giving money to Google or Spotify. If you want to support some musicians, buying a single piece of merch probably makes them more money than a lifetime of listening to them on a streaming service.

Money isnt that relevant directly, streaming is good for optics, you get a lot of streams you are more likely to get live shows and have your music pushed out to others that will go there? It’s good for discoverability and credibility.
