When Neil Young asked us to switch to Tidal, I went along and loved that it paid the artists 10x more per stream.
But Tidal is American owned, spotify isn’t…
I’m struggling on this one, a lot of the lil punk bands I love could really use the revenue but, y’know, trade war etc.
Anyone have any thoughts to assuage a guilty conscience on this one?
Spotify gave Joe Rogan a platform, which likely contributed to the current situation in the US.
How many specific bands are you trying to support? It might be better for everyone if you just send them $5 directly and pirate their stuff.
Appreciate the thoughts!
I listen to a lot of weird little bands and sending them all $5 would be much more expensive than several years of streaming.
I also don’t see myself going back to non streaming, the convenience of almost all conceivable music in my hand is too much.
That being said, some folks have suggested a few French alternatives that seem worth a shot!
Spotify CEO also invests in AI military tech. . Try the French providers but also consider that many especially small acts put their stuff on Bandcamp at pay what you want/can level.
