Comment on It really fucks with my recommendations, but fuck em™
TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 day agoIt's not about using it not using Spotify. It's about getting the artists more money.
Well if thats your goal buy their music or merch, or just send them cash directly, most artists are on bandcamp, smaller artists will at least have a venmo or cashapp you can send to.
Artists arent making their rent money on whatever pittance spotify pays them, you would do more good for the actual artist if you just promoted their work and gave them a few bucks directly.
You can do both.
Not with the same dollar!!
Tidal is pretty good for that. Better app than Spotify and better quality too!
I'll look into tidal. I've never used it before.
I’m a big fan of Tidal from my usage this far, they pay their artists something like 1.3 cents a stream versus 0.3 cents (numbers pulled from my memory and may be slightly off). Plus, the higher audio quality available and the 6 person family plan are nice to have.

Getting the artists more money is ALL about not using Spotift.
