To be honest I simply find Tidal + Plex integration to be more convenient than piracy. I'll pay my $10 per month for the ease of use and still buy an album or two per month from artists I want to support.
My discovery is a combination of Tidal and last.fm similar artists/recommendations and people on various forums. It's one of the few things I still go back to Reddit for. The other thing is that I like to listen to a band's full discography when I discover them. I recently found The Ocean and all 9 of their albums are solid. That's a lot to buy.
I'm not locked into their player. Tidal integrates through Plex and I manage my music library between Tidal and local files there. And again, I still buy albums but we've both acknowledged we can't buy all the music we would listen to.
No, anything from Tidal is still DRM controlled but it integrates seemlessly with everything I have locally.
