I don’t do it for the same reason I don’t make suggestions about what you do. Is Spotify rotten? Sure. But so are all of the major record companies that rip off their artists and took a deal with Spotify to save themselves. They were rotten before that too. And to think that Apple is pure seems odd. Thanks though. We can call this all ‘engagement’ I guess.

Q: Is Tidal any better?

Tidal is way better - they aren’t actively screwing artists by replacing them with automation or avoiding paying them for less than 1000 streams. They pay 4 times as much per stream and have a User Centric proportional royalty share system. They’re owned by musicians & Jack Dorsey who sponsors Signal $1m per year. They’re clearly half decent humans instead of utter scum.

There no doubt Spotify is evil but it’s also by far the most popular platform, meaning if you want to reach lots of people, at the moment you’re forced to it.
