We should all be using Tidal, fuck Spotify
- I'd love to switch. But all alternatives are even more American, so it feels a step backwards to go from something at least mildly European.
  
  Isn't Qobuz French?
  
  Never heard of them but seems like it! Might have a look
  
  I switched from Spotify to Qobuz a couple months back. No regrets. Migration was easy, and the quality boost is actually noticeable. Plus, y'know, it's not Spotify.
  
  Fair enough.
  I switched to keep the convenience of streaming but help the artists get paid more. If there is a non-American alternative that pays artists better than Spotify, I’d love to use it.

- Checked it out. Not a fan. You can’t even browse their catalog until you’ve given them credit card info, but from what I can gather, their selection is pretty lacking outside of the genres they choose to focus on.
- No "we" shouldn't.
  I mean "we" shouldn't pay a subscription to any service whatsoever, and support our favo(u)rite artists directly (if this happened, and only 1/50 did the support, the artists would still be making more than they currently do).
  But even if "we" are not of that opinion, "we" SPECIFICALLY shouldn't be using Tidal. Literally any other genuine service with a lossless tier (or lossless only) is better, unless it's "audiophile"-first, then also avoid.
