spotify It would be nice if literally anyone making a post about how you should stop using Spotify would mention actual alternatives or advice on how to move to an alternative as easily as possible.

I get it, I get the reasons for why one should move away from it. In fact, about 99.9% of my listening now happens through my self-hosted collection of music. But barely anyone has the spoons to research and do everything themselves. Don't just hand out advice, hand out empowerment! neobot_shy

spotify @star Deezer and Tidal are both decent replacements as far as I'm aware.

Last I chekced, shockingly, Amazon Music pays artists the best. For all 0.09 or so cents on the penny that's worth, literally.

spotify @daedalouseros I heard tidal pays pretty well and they only pay out like 0.013? 0.09 would be neocat_flush

spotify @star It's been awhile since I looked at the numbers.

Either way, music artists fucking hate streaming services. IMHO, streaming services are a raw deal for everyone except the service itself: The listener gets worse quality and has their music held hostage behind a sub and the artist gets shafted on their income.

Granted, for major artists, I'm fairly certain most of their money comes from record deals. So like, fuck 'em. It's indies that this model is really fucking over.
