While I kinda like what Bellingcat does, you do have a point. Crowdsourcing decisions rarely lead to good outcomes

But it looks like Proton does not choose the beneficiaries. From their statement:
‘Recipients are nominated by the Proton community and selected based on community feedback. Proton doesn’t nominate the recipients. Recipients cannot be changed after the raffle begins and the fact that some find Bellingcat controversial was not known beforehand.
My guess is that they've realized that nobody subscribed to the highest tier, so they've incorporated its features into the normal tier, hoping to make it up in volume (I.e. new people subscribing because it's cheap and it offers more than Spotify). So perhaps they are going to be able to pay artists the same rates
No, there is what Tidal calls "HiRes FLAC", which is 24-bit, 192 kHz. Their website does not even mention MQA anymore. They've moved away from MQA since early 2023, when the MQA company went bankrupt
I guess people who also like YT premium
It does sound clickbait-y and I guess that's why there are butthurt people in the comments. I guess its meaning is "literally everyone is raising prices, while Tidal is lowering them". TBF I also had to read the title again because it's pretty strange to see prices decrease
Hey, at least we agree on something lol
So you're talking out of your ass. Got it
Ok. So journalistically, the key points to get across here are:
- Tidal is changing its subscriptions plans
- They are now cheaper
- That's pretty unique since literally everyone else on the planet is increasing prices, not lowering them
How would you have reported the news? Would you have done something differently?
Qobuz has the most beautiful and serious-looking UI I've tried, I really love it. But I had to stop using it because there is no lyrics integration and some of my favorite (admittedly obscure) music was not there. But the UI is spectacular, especially on desktop.
Tidal's interface is simply good, nothing more and nothing less, and it's a more mature product overall with more features
If you care about sound quality, Tidal and Qobuz are the best. The rest comes down to preference, IMHO. I like Tidal's recommendations, but I've also heard good things about Spotify's and Apple's
TL;DW?
