   It takes 12,000 plays on Spotify for a band to make the same as you buying one of their T-shirts.

     @killyourfm would much rather go to shows than buy merch

     @usernamepending @killyourfm Touring is break-even at best for most bands. Often their only chance at making money is through the merch stands.

     @Gargron @usernamepending @killyourfm I wish more people would realise this. Just because there’s a lot of money sloshing around the stadium shows and the sold-out tours, doesn’t mean the typical show makes a profit.
