    bro is using his product to squeeze as much money as possible out doing listening parties with expensive tickets, minimal stage costs and selling merch. he makes millions and millions off the music both directly and as a biproduct

    i dont like this idea hes doing it as an FU to the streaming services when really hes doing it for the greed. he just had a fully independent #1 probably made more off that album than almost any artist ever by percentage

    Yeah no artists will be better off

    He's going to say he's fighting for other artists tho lmao
