I'm sorry, but this reads like astroturfing. I don't think it is, but it 100% feels that way.

And, from what I can see, Tidal is a service owned by phenomenally rich artists who have been the best compensated by the existing record label structure (at the expense of indie artists), trying to throw their weight around and maintain their power in streaming as well. While fraudulently depriving other artists of revenue from Tidal, if this article is correct.

Without concrete evidence you should not make such claims.

Astroturfing accusation? Really? People profess their love or hate for things all the time. There is a comment below talking about how great Spotify is are you going to accuse it of Astroturfing as well?

Anyway if you simply Google which streaming platforms pay artist the most Tidal tops the list all the time.
