I understand the hate for Apple but depending on where you live and how cheap you can get the subscription Apple Music (aside from Bandcamp of course) can be the one that pays out the most to the artists per stream. It’s a per country, per market situation also in the Philippines Youtube Music pays close to what Apple pays per stream even though globally they pay the least.
For me it’s mostly about the library. If it doesn’t have the music I want to listen to, I have no reason to subscribe. I really, really wish Qobuz or Tidal had the library that Spotify does for my music taste. It’s a shame, but the bitter reality for me.
