Move to Tidal if you value artists
Move to piracy and donate to the artists directly to better support the artist, if that is an option.
Tidal still take a cut from the artists revenue.
Some artists don’t have donation links, so Tidal is the best bet
I'll pitch Bandcamp as an option, especially if/when they bring back Bandcamp Fridays next year (where they don't take a cut on specific days). Not everyone's on it, but it's generally a reasonable, legal option for those artists that are.
Instead of paying $10/month for a music subscription, I buy 10-15 albums a year, mostly on bandcamp. I self-host Navidrome so I can stream my music on my devices.
Win win
If they weren't so focused on Europe/the Americas, sure.
Fuck Jack Dorsey too though, and its lacking a few bells ad whistles last time I checked.
