I use Tidal, mostly to support an underdog, though I'm not sure how much that reflects reality nowdays..

However, they are in the process of adding better APIs for developers to use, so at least that's a plus in my books: https://github.com/orgs/tidal-music/discussions/categories/i...

The default recommendations were pretty hip-hop-based for me, though, but nowadays it's better. I also subscribe to di.fm, which probably tells a bit about my music taste.

Wasn’t Tidal owned by Sprint? (And apparently it’s now owned by Jack Dorsey.) Isn’t that like supporting Zune for being an “underdog”, despite it being owned by Microsoft?

TIL :), though Block only acquired the majority of it at 2021, so relatively short time ago.

Well, people bought Windows Phones probably to avoid buying Android or Apple phones, so I guess it's still the same?
