I think from a independent/underground musicians point of view, not using streaming services, but services like Bandcamp, npub1qjlxjcm7vgt7eh3chteucchysl2gv2a07ycxc3ce3txyrrkgc3eqzu8wry (npub1qjl…8wry) or the new star in (complete) audio self publishing: Faircamp...
makes a lot of sense.
But I have no illusion that most of the people, who are more into "passive" music consumption (not actively looking for exciting adventures in discovering new music) will never leave Streaming Services (with those curated playlists and "mood" auto playlist... all that horror) until there is a "better" (for being even more passive) alternative.
And those people will always be the majority. I know even a lot of passionate music lovers, who would never look into Bandcamp. "Why? It's all in my paid flatrate music service!!". And yes, they know about the per stream payment injustice against artists.
My consequences:
I only talk about my Bandcamp (and in the future about Mirlo and Faircamp as well) in the open, which happens to be the Fediverse only (I don't use other social network services).
All my tracks are Creative Commons licensed anyway, I see all those services (Bandcamp style as well as Spotify style) as a bonus and an effective way for distribution.
Anyway, while taking about Bandcamp and such I silently unload my complete albums (not single releases) via a Distrokid-style service to the major streaming platforms as well. Yes that's extra fees, right now I can afford this; it doesn't pay out with average 10 streams per track per service in 3 years.
But the majority of people have access to it through their streaming flatrates, and that's my wish. What I don't like is, that that makes me a victim (in financial terms) that feeds those, who make me a victim.
That's why I actively comment against people who share Spotify playlists here in the Fediverse, as if it's the most natural thing to do. And by the way, that seems to be what those people think. They honestly believe, everyone else has a Spotify account. No, I don't, I will never use any app by Spotify and I tell those people about it - which makes me the obsessed nerd in their eyes. Hmm.
