I am once again begging you, if u must stream music, to consider any of the competitors from the chart below that pay artists better than Spotify. "According to a shocking new book, Spotify has been promoting so-called 'ghost artists' so it can avoid paying its piddling royalties to real artists":

Hey so if you still use Spotify: Streaming services are bad for artists but have you noticed yours is *the worst*?? Their rates are consistently under everyone AND for 85% of the music on the platform they don't pay out at all. Tidal, Deezer, Napster, Apple pay 2-3 times as much. Qobuz is like 4x.

I never tried out Tidal but if i can find thousands and thousands of the same music i listen to Spotify i really want to switch there. Spotify is sinking into money hell and they're secretly destroying it with AI artists and HECK, they even fucking allowed a fake Yoko Shimomura album in. Goddamnit.

Well, the ones in Benn Jordan's graph are Qobuz, Deezer, and Apple Music. I hear some people speak well of Napster, which Jordan didn't evaluate, but pays highly. Amazon and YouTube Music also have streaming services, but how much they pay varies depending on which source you ask.
