If you use Spotify to listen to artists, you certainly don't actually respect them. Fuck you people who give money to Spotify.

Is there an alternative way to contribute to them? I would happily send money directly to the artists, but I don't know how

Bandcamp is what my bands like to use. They often have events (Bandcamp Fridays) where 100% of purchases go to the artists. Some bands also make decent money off merch sales from their own storefronts

Artists tend to have websites where they sell their music or link to places where they sell it.
