Is there a streaming model that better supports artists, has a large catalog of music, and is reasonably affordable?

I'm pretty sure Tidal pays artists better than Spotify or Apple Music.

From what I recall it's better but not much better. They also shilled for their snake oil MQA format but thankfully they are moving away from that.

2 x 0 at least

The best thing you can do for artists is pirate everything (cutting out Spotify etc), and purchase an album a month from a band/artist you actually want to support. Buy direct for the artist, or Bandcamp (especially on Bandcamp Fridays)

Also merch and concerts, if this fits you.

[-] DampSquid@feddit.uk 4 points 3 months ago

All of the above, ideally.

Apple Music pays over double per stream to artists and is better quality audio than Spotify.
