It is hard for me to be the arbiter of what tools are ethical enough, so I try to make these facts as easy as possible to find for people.

Spotify often gets bad press, some probably promoted by competitors. Its payouts look lower mainly because it offers a free ad-supported tier and serves markets with lower subscription fees - if it were subscription-only in high-fee markets, payouts would be similar to Apple, Tidal, or Qobuz.
