This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer’s income actually goes to the artists.

I remember people giving Spotify shit for increasing their monthly price from 10 to 11. It was the first price hike in over a decade. That doesn’t seem devastating or bad or wrong.

Compare it to something like Disney plus and how drastically they increased the price since service introduction

I’m OK with the increase in price if I knew that extra money was actually going to the artists. But how do we know?

Spotify is continually reducing the amount they give to artists.

That’s easy to know, actually. Spotify pays 70% of revenue to rights holders, and keeps 30%. Hence an increase of $1 will mean $0.30 for Spotify, and $0.70 to rights holders.

The extra money is probably going into server upkeep, software development, etc., not to artists.

If you want to support artists, Spotify definitely is among the worst choices, while Deezer isn’t great but not horrible either. A little while ago I compiled the most official numbers I could find for any service that I could find. Now mind you, they are a little older (2-ish years) and I cannot remember the source, so take those numbers with a grain of salt but here they go:

Per 1000 streams an Artist gets on average:

• $4.02 on Amazon Music

• $4.37 on Spotify

• $6.76 on both Deezer and YouTube Music

• $7.35 on Apple Music

• $12.50 on Tidal

• $19.00 on Napster

• $38.16 on Quobuz

As I said, the numbers are most likely not the most accurate anymore, the process for these services have changed a little since. However, they might still be interesting enough to know. Maybe someone is bored enough to search the web for more up to date data.

For consumers it might also be interesting to add, that Spotify and YouTube Music, while costing the same as most of the other services (excluding Tidal HiFi Plus and Quobuz), offer a significantly worse audio quality than any other service (aka no lossless audio) and that Tidal‘s expensive HiRes audio tier uses a codec (MQA), that is proven to be terrible and mostly snake oil.

In short: If you want to support artists, stay away from Spotify or amazon. If you want the best audio quality, stay away from Spotify, YouTube Music or Tidal and maybe Deezer (no support for HiRes lossless. Although to be fair, CD-Quality is enough for almost anyone). If you want both and don’t mind paying a little more: use Quobuz

I wish there could be good, honest transparency on these figures. Figuring out which streaming service actually best funds musicians is almost like playing with a Ouija board.

Qobuz has been fantastic for me. Great music quality and selection, and not just garbage hit list music.

I checked them out and it seems like they have great selection, but I was turned off by their shady marketing. On their home page it says $10.83 per month in bold letters. Then underneath in small print says “for a 12 month no refundable subscription with one payment of $129. Monthly subscription is $12.99/ month” not cool.

The frog in boiling water is actually a complete myth. The frog jumps out when the water is too warm for it, it’s not completely stupid. If the price is ‘too hot’ for you, jump out. Deezer (or any other streaming service) isn’t forcing you to stay subscribed.

My Tidal Hi-Fi quality with veteran discount hasn’t gone up a penny. It’s like $6-7 a month for the CD quality lossless.

I have a family plan, they just raised the price of the subscription in October of last year from $14.99 to $17.99… I was already thinking that’s too much, but now I’m definitely done with them.

At this point people should be posting things that HAVENT seen a price hike. Because if there are companies out there not jacking up their rates, they deserve a standing O.

Arizona ice tea is now $1.39 where I’m at in the midwest.

Even Cigarello’s, which were always 99 cents as long as I can remember are now listed at $1.39 where I’m at.

This is at the discretion of your local vendors. Some places in my area stopped selling them altogether rather than raise the price. I think Arizona had to take the 99¢ branding off the can because it doesn’t work in a lot of markets. Places in my area will have them as cheap as 79¢ but it’s obviously a loss leader.

I like deezer and I like that they are not part of big tech. It’s just a small French company with a quality product as an alternative to Spotify, which is in bed with Google and everyone else.

Well worth the money.

Nah, fuck them for using crappy MP3 as their lossy codec. Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis, with some AAC sprinkled in.

AFAIR, they were aso one of the companies that paid most onto artists.

Deezer pays slightly more but Spotify has more users, so it seems to be about the same.

Point being if you want to maximize your indirect support to the artist, Deezer is one of the best options.

Privacy.com card, limit $1. Deezer premium free trial with fake email, immediately lock and delete privacy card. Login to Deezer in the deemix-gui app. Proceed to download all the music you could possibly want, in lossless format, until the trial runs out. Proceed to create a new privacy card and a new Deezer premium trial with a new fake email. Problem solved.

If they want to, they’ll easily sue you.

Too bad it’s US only.
