In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company. [...] It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating. [...] He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel. He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.

Das ist schon echt sketchy. Er will ne Aussage machen und entscheidet sich dann für den Suizid im Parkhaus / auf dem Parkplatz?

You're missing the point I'm trying to make. He's stating his opinion, which his absolutely valid for him, but concludes that in general it's not worth it and that it is not good. The only thing I did was mark his opinions, also mark my opinions, but conclude that in the general case there's no better option. I only wanted to draw attention to this style of rhetoric which I don't like as a discussion culture.

Btw I also don't like the ad homimen argument e.g. "stupidest comment I've seen" etc. That's not how a respectful discussion should be.

I'm talking in the context of streaming services here...

Maybe you're right with the Linux client part, but I don't know any other streaming service that does provide one? At least Spotify and Apple Music don't. Does it make them also not worth it? I would disagree.

I never said tidal is the best app to support artists. In that regard there is a better option, just give them your money for free. I meant as a streaming service, quality wise and in terms of paying artists, there are no better options.

What I didn't like about your OP was the fact that you laid your personal opinions out and then concluded that tidal is not worth it. Doesn't make me a shill when I answer with counterpoints.

Not saying it's not a valid point against tidal overall. I would also enjoy me a linux native client. However I don't see why this is a valid point against tidal and for apple music.

Having said that. I found a bug in their windows client and the devs are very much receptive for feedback. Maybe in the future when more people use Linux they'll come around and make one. Or the community will with tidal's open source SDK.

honestly it’s not really good

*for you it isn't

the search sucks

what's wrong with it? works fine for me

no offline mode on desktop

why would you need it? it's supported on phones, just listen via phone?

no official Linux client

Neither does apple music. Tidal are open sourcing their SDK though

an incomplete catalog

*for you. for me there isn't

It’s not worth it, even if they are the least bad for paying artists

Again, for you. On paper, tidal is the better option and I rather support artists than some questionable monopolistic corporation

I mainly listen to punk and it's extremely hard to find bands that are not on Tidal. When I migrated my playlists to Tidal from Spotify, there was only 1 Band which didn't exist on Tidal. But because it was only 1 song that was part of one of my playlists, I simply didn't care. I don't even remember which one it was. Aha, they're called Valentiine (3 piece all-girl garage rock band from Melbourne, Australia) and they're still not on Tidal. Still don't care.

Can't speak for Jazz though.
