"Mad respect for tidal!! I literally know musicians who live in cars and storage spaces etc. And I know some pretty popular musicians who still struggle to make ends meet. Unless artists have a popular live show there aren't a lot of income streams available. People have characterized tidal negatively but I promise it's 100% artist friendly, and fan friendly since yall have the option to pay the same rate as other streaming 💖 respect to everyone involved for doing the right thing for struggling artists - this kind of thing is so important, especially for indie music!"

Do you think she's being genuine or Jay asked her to post about it (she is signed to Roc Nation)???

yes!!! 75% is great

I rather the artists get their money rather than huge but hidden money-making corporations.

Mad respect to you, Grimes.

She may be right but the bottom line is no one is going to pay for something they can get for free. period. any dollar amount turns people off.

Please.

See, Tidal has real benefits for real artists. It's not just a gimmick.

There you go. An indie artist in support

lemme check out her music on there and give her some streaming coins, then if i like it enough we'll see about giving her more coins for physical sales

Still isn't going to make me pay for something I can get so easily for free.

She's a Roc Nation artist. Like she is going to say anything negative about Tidal when she's on a label founded and owned by Jay-Z.

Why listen to it on Tidal when you could listen for FREE on Spotify?! Use some logic!

You go Grimes. For most of you, it's not even about the price. Even if Tidal was the same as Spotify (free), many of you would still stream Spotify over Tidal b/c you don't want to support "celebrities",

Because I have a TIDAL subscription and I enjoy listening to music in lossless quality, in addition, she makes more money from streams on TIDAL and I don't feel like supporting the parasitic LEECH on the music industry that is Spotify free.

That isn't true, you can't do On Demand streaming via mobile so I payed for it with Spotify but I switched to Tidal instead once it was available.

Not if you wanna listen On Demand using your mobile device (which you can't do for free). Use some logic!

Some of y'all are so CHEAP and stingy that you won't even pay for your favorite artists. You don't even have to own anything by these people nowadays to be considered a "stan", any queen who streams two Rihanna songs on Spotify and bullies someone on twitter thinks that they've contributed as a fan and supported their "fave", "stanning" someone nowadays is just a title people take on to feel good about themselves, whether they're a fan of the artist or not. 1st-grade level reads and "drags" that tantamount to played-out insults mean nothing when your fave is performing to 5 people and not making enough to make ends meet because people stream and steal their music online.

Spotify premium costs just as much as TIDAL basic (and even cheaper if you are a student) so there isn't really a comparison to be made here. To use the features that set TIDAL apart from Spotify, you have to pay $10 more.

Bye.
