Yeah, it is an unpopular opinion lol.

The fact is Spotify and Youtube music are the two worse streaming service. They give less to artists, the pool system only benefits artists that are signed to majors, and on top of that they give 100 effing millions to stupid Joe Rogan. You are paying money to Joe, not artists.

If you need a streaming service, Tidal is the only ok option. Same price but 3x more for artist. But the best thing you can do is: buy album from bandcamp (90% to the artists), go to shows, buy merch, contribute directly to the artists in any way.

I'm actually teaching in a college to young musicians, who all want to live of their music but pretty much none of them has ever even bought an album. I don't think I've ever convinced a single one to switch to Tidal.
