Tidal is no better. They closed off access to free users recently, and have never bothered with developing a good API. Spotify has more artist diversity and a much better discovery algorithm. I have used both.

I am amazed at how many people don't get what is going on.

These companies business models rely on free money economics, and with interest rates up they cannot survive which means all of the growth they targeted is now a huge problem.

Platforms are becoming hostile towards its users because they are quite literally telling you to kick rocks and go elsewhere. They do not want your business because it costs them too much money.
