Then go buy the cd directly. Or donate.

Y'all try to pretend like you are pissed where their money goes but then choose to ignore those options.

It's about you all just not wanting to pay, don't try and make it assume noble bullshit.

It's bet none of you have donated directly to creators and if you have it's less than $300 life time total.

Oh no I'll gladly buy merch from the artists themselves if I could afford to

Check out our new hoodie! Only $100.

I mean I think that could be a fair price, clothes can be pretty expensive to make and you also have to live off of selling them. Of course I am in no position to buy them at that price but I'm a broke student.

$100 USD for a hoodie is dumb expensive. I refuse to pay more than $50 for a hoodie, and even then it better be a high quality hoodie. Better make me sweat in 40 degree weather.

The point of a 100 dollar merch hoodie isn't that you get a 100 dollars worth of hoodie. It's that you support the artist. A less expensive hoodie means less for the artists. That's kinda the point of merch....
