My main beef with Tidal is that establishment musicians founded it to do categorically nothing to further music distribution. They simply tried shifting a few percentages in order to enrich one generic greedy group over another, for which I have no sympathy.

Entirely Fair beef.
As an artiest who has gotten the shit end of a deal more than once its depressing just how shit these platforms are for the small guys.
Playing an instrument I had my own brushes with music distribution, and Tidal, for all their marketing theatrics, and compared with the product, it just feels insulting.
Others at least never claimed to save the art form. Or, in case I missed it, I have no love lost there either.
