MUSIC STREAMING CHART 2.1
This blew up over on my bands page so I made some changes based on feedback over there.
Please continue to provide feedback if you see anything that is incorrect but remember, I'm ONE person with a full time job, a side hustle and a band.
I can't include EVERYTHING. If you want more info you're gonna have to find it yourself.
Re: Spotify - while they don't directly donate to Israel/IDF their chief exec, Daniel Ek, is leading a $700m investment in Al drone weapons. 🤮
Re: Tidal - they also don't directly donate to lsrael - but they are owned by Block inc who's biggest investors are Blackrock and Vanguard, so still very directly financially tied to Israel support 👎
There literally is no perfect streaming app but per my research your best alternative is STILL Qobuz.
It's complicated, I get it! Small artists depend on streams, especially on Spotify, to help build audiences and book gigs. I will not personaly judge anyone who continues to use the platform - the corporations are who we need to have beef with, not our friends! REMEMBER we are literally on a META app right now 🙃
l'II delete this if people get annoying about it. Just thought I'd share since it was difficult for me to find all this info easily, I wanted to make it a lil easier for yall.
There are some new apps coming into the picture that I need to dig into more such as Coda, Museek and Subvert.
PLEASE ALWAYS SUPPORT ARTISTS DIRECTLY BY GOING TO THEIR SHOWS AND BUYING THEIR MERCH!!!]
