please be critical of your interests. nothing will ever be 100% good, perfect, or innocent, so its important to keep in mind the media you consume online. acknowledge that giving problematic media attention and support will affect those who are being negatively affected by that media.

common scenario: you want to listen to an artist's music, but you don't want to support this person(s).

• you can ask someone to give you a downloaded version of the song where you can listen offline, so that you don't give the person any financial gain by streaming or directly having to buy their music.
• download the song(s) yourself with a youtube to mp3 downloader or service
  • this is especially useful/helpful for those who have hyperfixations on songs or artists. autistic/adhd folks cannot help what they hyperfixate on 100% of the time.
  • also helpful for systems with introjects of that song or artist, or source that the music appears in. those songs are usually quite comforting so it's nice to be able to have them without supporting the problematic source or artist.
