For me, most of the artists I follow are in band camp. I haven’t feel any enshitification on it so far, and I don’t love giving me money to epic either, but there is also bandcamp Friday. For whoever is not on it, I just pirate (torrent) or download from qobuz using a throwaway account on trial, trying to buy cds, merch or whatever from the artist.

Then it’s wayland fault haha! Nah, hopefully it gets better!

Are you on x11 or wayland? For me x11 behaves really bad on these situations, and wayland is much much snappier.
