Same but if you want to support the artist, streaming services aren't the way to do it

Buy merch and stream is the best I can come up with that makes it easy for me to listen to the music I want and support the artist.

If they have it, direct support is the best way. Like Patreon for instance.

Ya merch is by far the best, if you buy it cash at a show then that's cash right in hand for them

I pirate all my music digitally. Then if I like a release, I buy it on vinyl, or if too expensive/unavailable on vinyl, I buy a shirt.

Resonate is a good alternative streaming service for folks who don’t want to feel locked in (https://resonate.coop/) Not as clean as Spotify but pretty decent for something bootstrapped.
