This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Additionally, when you listen to an artist on Spotify or YT Music, it increases the chance of the app promoting that artist to other users.
Remember, we're distinguishing between "basically nothing" and "literally nothing".
Of course the best way to financially support an artist is to buy their merch or buy their music on a store like Bandcamp.
