They severely underpay artists while continuously raising subscription prices because of some contract loophole involving podcasts bundled to subscriptions. Avoid if possible.

Tidal. The company is Swedish-Norwegian, but an American company owns the majority of the stakes. They supposedly pay artists more fairly, which I believe holds more weight. Their music library is similar, but they don't serve podcasts. The mobile app is just barely acceptable, but streaming quality is good even on the lowest tier subscription. The biggest drawback is the lack of a proper Linux desktop app -- all we have is an Electron wrapper around the web app.
