It's kind of easy to see how broken and morally bankrupt the #MusicStreaming business model by #Spotify and Co is if you consider that none of the major streaming services simply bans #AI generated #music. They just want to keep you streaming. They don't give a flying fuck about art, artists and music.
What alternative music service can replace Spotify and its library of popular music? My kids have a few playlists that have musicians like Taylor Swift and Imagine Dragons which I could buy, but I'm curious if there really is another alternative.
Apple Music, TIDAL, etc are not the options I want to hear.

How to easily support your favorite band or musician or singer/songwriter.
Buy their album. And then listen to it on your music streaming service (preferably not Spotify, because Spotify doesn't pay the artists well).
Thus, you support your favorite musicians twice, by buying their album(s) and by streaming their music.
And of course, if you can, visit their concert(s).

Why do artists HAVE to use a third-party distributor just to get on Spotify? We're paying a middleman fees/cuts on already low royalties. If you could change ONE thing about streaming, what would it be? 🤔

My music adoring boyfriend is leaving #Spotify after relying on it most of his life. He is leaning towards #Tidal (in part because Qobuz is not available in his region).* Anyone have tips on Tidal?
*I myself entered my address for a Qobuz trial & never heard back. Same thing happened to me with PeerTube instances & my Pixelfed account. I can't figure whether my email isn't receiving everything or if the non corpo web is overwhelmed.
