Tidal pay artists more than most platforms, and over four times as much per stream as Spotify. That's not to say it's not still part of a broken system, but most other platforms are worse.

While that's true, it's a low bar. Ideally artists get some meaningful payments. There is also an issue how they count streams, do they count them correctly etc. From what I remember, it's very shady.
