Yeah, I've decided that "buy everything" is too much of a cost difference compared to the utility of the streaming services. I'd like to not have to buy an album outright (and wait for it to arrive, rip, and upload) all or most of the time.
And, I'm not really keen on pirating music of living artists. I tend to listen to less-than-popular music, so I kind of feel like they should be compensated for my listening. Tidal's supposed higher royalty schedule is one thing I like about them (I hope the little guys are getting something).
- dublinben 11y agoIf it changes your mind at all, the royalties from streaming services are essentially zero. You might as well just pirate the album, as far as the artist is concerned. If you do buy the album outright, you will certainly be paying them more than they would ever get from years of you streaming the album.
