Last weekend I used github.com/linsomniac/spotify_to_ytmusic to copy my Spotify playlists over to YouTube Music, and the shuffle play is SOOO much nicer there! That was my primary gripe with Spotify, the shuffle play is idiotic

As far as I recall. YT Music pays even less than Spotify does unfortunately.

  You cannot make a difference this way. Their music is a commodity they have signed agreements to sell. They probably (in the vast majority of instances) had almost no bargaining power in this and a lot of signed artists don’t make a penny from their work, at all.
  
  If you really like an artist, contact them via their official channels and ask if you can send them money directly or donate to a charity they like.

    Yeah you’re right. Actually I was just thinking about this streaming space and perhaps switching away from Spotify, over to Tidal but probably it wouldn’t make a big difference to the respected artists I’m listening to.

  here’s a TL;DR summary for what we’ve got:
  
  Spotify paid the artists $0,0032 per stream
  
  Apple Music got the average rate of $0,0056
  
  Google Play Music landed a $0,0055 payout rate
  
  Deezer fell slightly lower at $0.00436
  
  From soundcharts.com/…/music-streaming-rates-payouts#s… which is admittedly a bit old.

  I believe YouTube music premium streams actually pay more than Spotify but the cross between YouTube paying way less and YouTube music paying more causes some confusion.

    According to the soundcharts link below, they pay about half of spotify's pay.
