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

      Make your choices ppl.

        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.

      Is there objective way to define what is fair? Otherwise words “fair pay” make 0 sense

        True it’s probably going to become an outdated concept and what is really needed would be an universal basic income

      Can get fair pay if the customers aren’t paying
