+ Your streaming dollars mostly feed corporate executives and shareholders—not the artists creating the work you love. + Cancel the middlemen. Support creators directly. +
++ Support strike funds, mutual aid networks, and worker-owned cooperatives fighting for fair wages in Hollywood and beyond. +
++ Fund artists in your community creating real work—theaters, galleries, independent filmmakers, and musicians who need it most. +
++ Patreon, Bandcamp, Ko-fi, or just Venmo your favorite indie creators. Cut out the platform rent-seekers entirely. +
++ The math is simple: A single Netflix subscription costs ~$15/month. + That's $180/year going to a corporation that pays artists pennies per stream, cancels beloved shows for tax write-offs, + and fights against fair labor practices. +
++ Imagine if that money went directly to your local theater company, a struggling musician's Patreon, + or the SAG-AFTRA Foundation instead. Real solidarity means real redistribution. +
++ Stop feeding extractive corporate gatekeepers. Fund the people actually making art. +
