Honestly, I just appreciate your honesty on all of this. A lot of people just want others to think like them without ever considering the concerns of others.

I get it. Streaming is so easy and convenient and if Ye is a primary artist you listen to it gets harder.A couple ideas off the top of the head:

• Use the opportunity to find other innovative artists. You might discover something new that you really like, maybe even more than Kanye.
• Torrent his albums ("illegal")
• Buy the albums of his that you like off the used market. This has a ripple effect to an extent but the backlash against Kanye is probably enough to greatly outweigh you buying his cd off Ebay for several dollars.

The thing about boycotts is that sometimes we have to stop buying/using things that we actually greatly value because the message we want to send to the person(s) profiting from it is more valuable. It's up to you to decide what you value.
