      It’s probably the most popular music streaming service at the moment.

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

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

            Edit: Here’s a chart from 2022:

            music streaming chart showing Tidal paying out three times what Spotify does

              The chart is neat.

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

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

              Although better, still very little in comparison to bandcamp

          No, it’s not. Even more so if you like your artists.
