"And also probably not accurate."
Maybe before you jump in to defend something you might want to do the research to find out whether the criticisms have merit.
I am not a "consumer", nor a "spectator" in this "world" I am an active participant and have helped generate millions of sats for artists over the past 90 episodes of LT. Many of which are WL artists.
I don't hate on WL anymore. I've come to realize that their way is just a different way of doing things. For me, their way doesn't align with my core values.
It doesn't mean that they're bad or evil, but caveat emptor, If one is going to use their services (or anyone else's) then is just makes sense to know how it works and learn about the alternatives.
Some methods are more liberty oriented than others.
