MODERATORS
Are they going to switch to a reward system that doesn't allow botfarms to steal money from legitimate artists?
No?
That would reduces apparent user volume?
Oh noo...
Cool, I'll still be using Tidal, as they pay their artists the most, I believe.
According to https://www.soundguys.com/tidal-vs-qobuz-140740/ this is not the case.
| Qobuz | $0.022 |
| Napster | $0.02 |
| Tidal | $0.013 |
| Apple Music | $0.01 |
| Deezer | $0.0064 |
| Spotify | $0.003 - $0.005 |
| Amazon Music | $0.00402 |
| SoundCloud | $0.0025 - $0.004 |
| Pandora | $0.00133 |
| YouTube Music | $0.00069 - $0.0012 |
