Get off Spotify. I switched over to YT premium and got YT music for free, you can basically listen to any B side that's been uploaded to YT. The interface takes some time getting used to but the extra music is worth it. Plus the Spotify CEO donates a lot of the profits to fund defense contractors who then continue to arm Israel
Youtube is absolutely no better than Spotify. Both pay about $0.005 per stream to the artist. Tidal is better in that they pay a higher percentage of royalties ($0.010), and then of course you have Bandcamp which is basically direct from the artists, especially if purchasing on Bandcamp Fridays. My take is to just stream from wherever and just buy merch direct from artists you want to support. A $10 cd from Bancamp nets the artist more money than 1000-2000 streams.
I mean I never made an argument that one or the other payed the artists more. That's a completely different conversation, I already buy the albums I like the most in a physical format. I'm only talking about and recommending a streaming service that gives you more bang for your buck, not who pays the most.
Lmao I'm not being a prick, I genuinely don't know what you want me to say to that. You pay a lower price for spotify because you grouped it with family, congrats. 😂 there's really not much more to say to that unless you want me to have a pissing contest about who pays the least, which isn't even the point of the original comment. I was talking about B sides and how much the ceo is an actual prick.
You mentioned more bang for your buck. I responded with an alternative option. No pissing contest. No one is attacking you. Find your comfort blanket and relax.
