    The companies below have proven to be reputable and worth supporting.

    Spotify

    Pays artists $0.0003 per play

    Shows ICE ads

    Says something about see deep dive for disclaimer, but I don’t see a link in the post body. But interested to see what’s on there.

    Edit: found the link

    Warning

    They pay significantly less royalties, promote AI music, and platform podcasters who spread misinformation - context: https://t.ly/spotify-history. They do offer a superior service, but some people choose not to support them for these reasons.

    Yeah so, that doesn’t align with “reputable” and “worth supporting”.

      Apple Music is actually better than Spotify, which deserves to sit on the left too along with the American options (no, I wouldn’t move Apple Music to the right)

        Tidal is great, and their “share with anyone” feature is just flat out 12/10, but I recently moved to Qobuz (French) because they pay the artists around 4 times more than Tidal does. And they’re European.

          I appreciate the share with anyone feature as well. I have a few friendships that are largely based on testing cool songs back and forth. This way the only inconvenience is me getting inbound Spotify links.

      Yeah I’ve been looking to get off Spotify for a while now. Was shocked to see it recommended. It’s a shame tidal removed their “connect” feature, it would have made it so easy

        Oh, how I WISH Qobuz gets the same excellent feature as Tidal has - when you share a link to an artist/album/track from Tidal, and someone else clicks it, two things can happen:

        1. If they have Tidal, it will just open the artist/album/track in the app.
        2. If they don’t have Tidal, it will open a Tidal-hosted page with links to the shared content on YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, and a couple of other streaming services.

        It just magically solves all the issues with people not wanting to switch because they like sharing their music.

        People increasingly want their voices heard and are taking action by choosing the companies they support.

        These can be due to privacy concerns, environmental reasons, boycotting US companies, or other causes.

        Doesn’t the premise imply that Spotify should be in the left column instead then?

        The service being “superior” or convenient is counter to the argument.
