Tidal has the highest artist payouts typically, besides YouTube I believe.

Make your choices ppl.

those choices of the minority won't matter in the long run when the other service is cheaper and has the fatter marketing budget.

just look at the refusal of normies to adopt something like mastodon just because you need a couple extra steps.

Is that for youtube videos not youtube music? Pretty sure YT music pays less than spotify by a wide margin.

Found a handy little Music Streaming Royalties Calculator thing in this article. It's not 100% accurate because none of the services pay the same rate for every song, but it shows how huge the payout discrepancies are.
