I actually agree with most of what you said.The “buying everything from Sam makes you a simp paypig faggot” argument is extremely gay. There’s three musicians I adore that I will always buy every record they put out regardless if one might not be as good as another but I like the music and listen to it a lot. Does that make me a “paypig?” No it makes me a fan.
I love and support MDE and will always buy new stuff from the boys. I got extreme peace XL the second I could? Why? Because I’m a fan. If I wore graphic tshirts id probably have a couple too.
The paypig/grifting shit must be a zoomer concept of kids too spoiled by torrenting music and movies and tv shows who have no concept of paying for the things they like for convenience, physical media (rare nowadays, would have been nice for MDE stuff but it never was the original intent) or just because you like an appreciate what an artist does.
I think this spoiled zoomer mentality Is exemplified in how many creators feel they have to include the donator’s name in a special thanks or “tier list” of contributors now so they can feel entitled bc everyone needs a participation trophy.
I hate to be Ackchyually guy, but most Zoomers don’t really know how to pirate stuff. Most of them just don’t access something unless it’s handed to them. The “paypig” stuff comes from Sam (or whatever artist) putting out shitty art, and the paypigs just eating it up—doesn’t matter if it’s good or really, really bad!
But I think you’re mostly right. Would I pay for everything my favorite musician puts out? Probably not. Would I go to every concert of theirs that I could? Yeah, definitely.
