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

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.
