When Neil Young asked us to switch to Tidal, I went along and loved that it paid the artists 10x more per stream.
But Tidal is American owned, spotify isn’t…
I’m struggling on this one, a lot of the lil punk bands I love could really use the revenue but, y’know, trade war etc.
Anyone have any thoughts to assuage a guilty conscience on this one?
Oh, I don’t think this is upending my life, apologies if I sounded dramatic. Just trying to balance my “help the artists” vs “help all of Not America right now.”
I wouldn’t say dramatic. I understand how you feel though. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism regardless of how hard we try. It’s infuriating at times.
