  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.

  Some people buy albums

    Buying albums is great because you can host them on your own Plex server and use Plexamp.

    (or something like Jellyfin, but IMO Plexamp is still the best app available for streaming your own music collection)

  Tidal, Deezer and qobuz pay better and don’t fund Slow Joe

  Tidal doesn’t host far-right mouthpieces, offers much higher quality streams, and pays the artists far, far more per play.

    The chart is neat.

    But I could care less about (US) politics while listening to music.

    If they had a better regional(Taiwan) music view, I would switch to them.
