The highest margin for most is probably merch purchased at venues, including physical media

This is no longer the case since venues started taking a cut of merch sales

Ah damn, thanks for the correction. It seems like every few years the industry changes.

Heck even Patreon was a good way to support artists for a while, but it seems like they might be starting to succumb to the enshittification of venture capital. Bandcamp has been sold twice in the last 2 years.
