From changing streaming services to other avenues.
Yet one detail that’s continuously been pointed out is how all of this is still unlikely to ultimately hurt Spotify’s bottom line. Young himself even admits in his letter announcing his departure that his streams from Spotify make up 60 percent of his global streams, making his choice one that’ll inevitably put a bigger dent in his wallet than the streaming platform’s. It’s inevitable all other artists leaving the platform faces the same sort of lose-lose situation, too.
But not all hope is lost, and as a music consumer, you too can have a hand in changing the way the cards have been dealt in this situation, even if in a minuscule way. Since Young’s announcement, #CancelSpotify has trended on Twitter and tech blogs all over are writing explainers on how to delete your Spotify account. While that isn’t the solution for everyone, there are still other ways to support the artists leaving and protesting the platform. Read on for all the ways how.
Notably, Tidal’s highest paid tier, HiFi Plus , allows listeners to allocate part of their monthly subscription payment directly to their most-loved artists, with up to 10 percent going to their most-streamed artist. It’s their version of a user-centric payment system, which, instead of having your monthly subscription payment pooled and then doled out to the apps’ biggest artists regardless of whether you listen to them — splits your money to the artists you listen to the most.
Finally, Tidal is one of the select streaming services offering higher audio quality depending on your subscription tier, with the highest tier offering “Master Quality Authenticated” audio. also has impressive royalty payment rates at $0.01 per stream. For $9.99/month or $14.99/month for the family plan, you can access the platform’s millions of songs and listen to music offline.
