Joining an org was not what I meant, even though it's definitely a good thing, and I agree.

My point was more about, yes, indie artists deserve to eat, but paying them in a capitalistic fashion, likely through a payment processor, a subscription/donation platform, and whatever other intermediaries, might be a "feel-good" sentiment, but if you're serious about demolishing the system, should not be done.

Oh! I completely missed your point. Yes, use cash or barter, certainly don't continue to promote capitalist hegemony.
