I don’t think it was a sacrifice (because of all the reasons those other bands or others in the industry have said - most artists on majors are not like Taylor Swift or whoever famous, after all), but it was certainly a choice from a principled position, I’d say. That doesn’t mean it can’t also be practical in nature as well, but it certainly is also within his own self-professed ethically values. It’s not an either-or, I don’t think…
