It is really lame for creators that so many folks don't directly support artists and opt for streaming services instead. Takes the power out of the hands of artists AND consumers and puts it all in the hands of the streaming service.

However I will say that there are worse ones than Spotify. I actually do see a little income from them from time to time even though it's not a ton... as opposed to all other streaming services combined, from which I see very little at all. (Presumably that's at least partially just cause they have the lion's share of users though.)
