RE: mastodon.social/@jonhicks/1156…

I know #Tidal isn't perfect (and buying physical media or band merch is better, but hey, that is situational, I will only buy an album after I already like it), but this sort of thing makes me feel vindicated in choosing not to use #Spotify.


“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more.”

Los Campesinos! break down streaming royalties. In other news, Fuck Spotify.

Switched to Deezer instead, hopefully it pays the artists better

Der vor allem bei HiFi-Fans so beliebte Streamingdienst Qobuz teilte heute die Ergebnisse eines unabhängigen Gutachtens mit, das ihre Bemühungen für eine gerechtere Künstlervergütung bestätigt. In einer Branche, der oft mangelnde Transparenz vorgeworfen wird, ist Qobuz die erste Musikstreaming-Plattform weltweit, die ihre durchschnittliche Auszahlungsrate pro Stream offiziell belegen lassen hat. Diese Entscheidung stärkt die Position von Qobuz als faire und nachhaltige Plattform in der Musikindustrie.

Personally, I just pull albums from YouTube (I self-host, don’t need a streaming service.) If I like something I buy the physical media, if available, and rip it. Stuff I don’t like enough to buy after a few plays gets deleted. I’ve purchased hundreds of albums I otherwise wouldn’t have because I could check them out first.
