Got a few extra quid because I got promoted at work for helping to assassinate the previous incumbent (and mopping up the resultant splatter afterwards), so I've decided to sign up to a patreon for an artist I like, mainly* because they send you a band patch and I bought all their CDs second-hand. I don't do Spotify or Apple or any of that shit - because they are the fucking devil - so this seemed like a decent way of actually paying the artist for their past product.
And... I'm a bit weirded out by this shit to be honest. These poor fuckers have really fallen from grace, they have total <50 followers, I don't even like their last album. Fuck, no one likes it, less than fifty fucking people like it. The guy is live streaming to ten people and practically begging for interaction, I feel like the grinder died of dysentery and is decomposing behind the organ; the monkey is still thumping the keys, begging desperately for food, staring uncomprehending and wondering why people don't applaud any more.
It's fucking depressing and now I want to give him more money. But at the same time, I don't want to reward the sort of retarded shiteating incompetence that takes a successful, promising metal career and promptly crapped itself on stage. And I really do not want to interact with him, because the last time I tried that shit I accidentalied Devin Townsend's greenroom and that drummer was a seriously scary looking cunt.
Opinions, gentlemen.
*this is a lie. It's mostly because I'm fucking bored and self-isolating.
