  Who is any better? Literally all are paying pennies to the artist per stream.

    Tidal pays more than 3x what Spotify pays. Qobuz pays like 5-6x.

      Although better, still very little in comparison to bandcamp

        Sure, that’s true, though if you allow streams on Bandcamp, those pay $0, so in terms of “try before you buy”, any streaming service is better. It’s only if you actually sell an album on band camp (or AmpWall, a smaller indie service that does a lot of the same stuff) that you’d get paid, as an artist.
