It's no secret that streaming services are sparing in their compensation of the artists that make the music hosted on their platforms. Spotify in particular has a reputation for dispensing pitifully meagre royalties, with estimates coming in at an average of $0.003 to $0.005 paid out per stream.
If you ask us, that's reason enough to avoid using the platform, and that's before we've even mentioned Spotify CEO Daniel Ek's $100m investment in AI defence technology company Helsing. But if we want to support musicians (and avoid financing AI-powered military drones) while still enjoying the convenience of streaming, which service should we choose as an alternative?
