I'm talking in the context of streaming services here...

Maybe you're right with the Linux client part, but I don't know any other streaming service that does provide one? At least Spotify and Apple Music don't. Does it make them also not worth it? I would disagree.

I never said tidal is the best app to support artists. In that regard there is a better option, just give them your money for free. I meant as a streaming service, quality wise and in terms of paying artists, there are no better options.

What I didn't like about your OP was the fact that you laid your personal opinions out and then concluded that tidal is not worth it. Doesn't make me a shill when I answer with counterpoints.

At least Spotify and Apple Music don't

Spotify does have an application for Linux, if you're gonna harp on about facts you should at least stick to them.

Point taken, guess I remembered it wrong. But if you take a look at the arch wiki, they say that your mentioned client is actually not official.

This article is mainly about the semi-official, proprietary Spotify for Linux client, which is developed by Spotify's engineers in their spare time and not actively supported by Spotify.

Your counterpoints were all basically just "your use case is different than mine therefore you are wrong".
