My impression is that Tidal does a bad job of this in general. I have lots of artists I follow on there who have albums appearing on their page from identically named but different artists.

Don't get me started on that. How can a company which core business is content streaming be that lazy is beyond me. I often feedback them the errors, but even such feedback is difficult.

Sadly it’s an expensive scaling problem. Not trivial to solve at the scale streaming platforms operate at.

Discogs seems to handle it just fine.

Well, at least they could make it easy to feedback, like a button on the artist/album page. But it's it really that hard to do it themselves? They are not getting a million albums per day, do they? I'm sure there are ways to improve the process with a little good will.
