I got Tidal since I read they pay artists a bigger share per track played.

I like it's hight quality audio but don't like it's suggestions much. I did discover a few good songs but mostly I build my own playlist. To discover music I prefer to start playlist based on a song I like rather than their suggestions but it's not perfect.

Not a significant amount and they, along with all streaming services, have massively cut artist payouts in recent years. There aren't really any good platforms for artists. Only labels get any amount of meaningful money.

There's bandcamp, but it's not really a streaming platform per se.
