Spotify pays very very little to artists per stream. Tidal is a better streaming platform to send money their way.

Tidal doesn't pay that much better; no streaming services do.

If payouts to artists matter to you then buy their music outright from platforms like Bandcamp and Qobuz rather than stream their music for peanuts.

Tidal, Apple music and Deezer pay better, yt music pays worse. Source: i have music on all of these plattforms.

how much does tidal pay? a quick search showed spotify was only taking 30% in which is in line with steam and apple for digital distribution stuff

Nearly 70% of that revenue is paid back as royalties to rights holders

Well, spotify may online take 30% but they funnel.most of the money to their owners, the big record companies.

And 30% is not like the 30% steam takes. If you stream only my songs (yes, I'm on spotify) for a whole months, maybe every day 10 songs that makes 300 streams a month, each for 0.2¢. All in all 60¢. The remaining 6.40$ of the 70% of 10$ go to the most streamed artists you never heard..and these artist only get small cuts from theur labels.

You can also buy any merch of theirs and that will make them more than lifetime streaming of all the services combined.

Yeah, this is my go-to for all forms of content creator. If I really like a band, I'll see them in concert and/or buy random merch. If I really like a YT creator, I'll buy their merch or send money directly with Patreon or whatever they use. If I really like a Twitch streamer, I'll send money to them directly.
