Yeah, I figured they're probably not going to see much of my money, but was hoping having some sales would benefit them, at least in future deals even if they don't get royalties. I'm not against pirating, just wanted to show my support since I get enjoyment from their work and so there's incentive to continue putting out content (for everyone involved).
Appreciate the recs, I'll check those out!
If they require low/no VOCs, I used Vermont Natural Coatings / Bohme. It's held up pretty well for the last 18 months of medium use/rain/sun. Though I only used cedar for the fascia, the doug fir I used for the decking still has a warm, golden color.
Decent at some and a beginner at others. Tbh, I have more hobbies than time to practice and really get good at all of them.

And if not, I still would consider it time well spent.

DRM-free is important IMO because otherwise you're at the mercy of the platform and if the company ever changes its Terms of Use or wipes your account, you lose your purchases. Amazon have remotely deleted books from users' libraries in the past or replaced them with modified copies (e.g. Roald Dahl books). Kindle announced last month they won't let you download your eBooks via USB so it's possible Audible could see changes for the worse in the future as well.
