Please choose Apple Music or Tidal - they pay musicians substantially more than Spotify pay [1] [1]https://images.prismic.io/soundcharts%2F571ff05f-9320-4e26-9

  Surprised how much Amazon music pays artists.

  Spotify has no option to pay more because the labels eat all their profits. Apple being able to eat that cost because of their other ventures is anti-competitive. Blame the record labels, not Spotify.

  Neither of those are significant for paying musicians, even if they're better than Spotify. This is why things like Patreon and Bandcamp have become so significant: the streaming providers are essentially not able to pay content creators at all, so none of them constitute a business plan for anything but themselves. 'better for the artist than Spotify' is… not a high bar :)

    I buy a lot of music from Bandcamp, but its definitely not a suitable service for the vast majority of people.

  > Please choose Apple Music or Tidal - they pay musicians substantially more than Spotify Funny how you say that when Tidal have been caught faking plays[1] of artists close to Tidal-management, giving more money to them and less to everyone else. But what do you expect by a streaming-platform literally run by “gangster”-rappers?
