Struggling, what to do about Tidal? (lemmy.world)

When Neil Young asked us to switch to Tidal, I went along and loved that it paid the artists 10x more per stream.

But Tidal is American owned, spotify isn't...

I'm struggling on this one, a lot of the lil punk bands I love could really use the revenue but, y'know, trade war etc.

Anyone have any thoughts to assuage a guilty conscience on this one?

You should buy Canadian where possible, but don’t upend your life over it.

Feeling guilt over the whims of politicians isn’t very useful. Just do what you can.

Oh, I don't think this is upending my life, apologies if I sounded dramatic. Just trying to balance my "help the artists" vs "help all of Not America right now."

I wouldn’t say dramatic. I understand how you feel though. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism regardless of how hard we try. It’s infuriating at times.
