This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer's income actually goes to the artists.

I know it might be an unpopular opinion over here, but I feel that's still an acceptable price. Music is honestly the only media where I just can't see myself going back to piracy again, because the comfort and ability to discover new music is just pretty much impossible to achieve without a streaming service... unfortunately
It depends whether you enjoy the datahoarder experience or if you just want to listen. Also internet avaliability. My mobile data isnt even 320kbps sometimes so streaming isnt an option. I also don't want it all tied to someone else. I have a lot of music in my hoard that was pulled from streamers or wasn't on them to begin with.
This here, and honestly I would rather be prepared for the enshitification of streaming music because Capitalism will make it shitty everyone. Just like video streaming. Rarely if ever does a company say "That's enough money."
I've been using Youtube Music with a custom front end (Innertune app) lately and it's a decent compromise between piracy and paying for a good streaming service — everything is free, it is streamed, I have an access to a huge library of music and the only downside is that the songs might have poorer quality
Innertune is fantastic. I recommend it to everyone looking for genuinely good alternatives to enshittified music services.
Agreed
