As far as I recall. YT Music pays even less than Spotify does unfortunately.

    You cannot make a difference this way. Their music is a commodity they have signed agreements to sell. They probably (in the vast majority of instances) had almost no bargaining power in this and a lot of signed artists don't make a penny from their work, at all.

    If you really like an artist, contact them via their official channels and ask if you can send them money directly or donate to a charity they like.

    Yeah you're right. Actually I was just thinking about this streaming space and perhaps switching away from Spotify, over to Tidal but probably it wouldn't make a big difference to the respected artists I'm listening to.
