Hi Deezer,

I am really interested in your new upcoming UCPS policy and I am looking forward to be part of it!

I toyed with the simulator to see my artists but it only showed me my top 5 artists from Sept 2019 (6 months ago at time of writing). When it rolls out, if it does, will we have the possibility to see the full breakdown of our subscription for each artist of the current and previous months?

Also, out of curiosity, what happens for music in the public domain? Claude Debussy was lucky enough to get 4% of my Sept 2019 subscription :laughing: , I hope he spends it wisely to pimp his grave.

    It’s more money than the others, but I’m not sure about too much. Depending on the generation you come from, $20 a month on music is next to nothing. We’ve all been spoiled by ad-supported and/or cheap music plans at the expense of artists getting paid.

    Granted, the $20/month audience is much smaller than the $10/month group, but I think the benefit for artists could be quite large.

    Plus, it’s good to see action being taken by anyone to address royalties issues.

    Yeah, that’s again not too much, but it could be.

    Now especially when you’ve read the bad news about their business model . In my life I have absolutely no problem at spending money, I just need to find need for it and value from it. Tidal’s apps are not that great on phone especially, so I’d not spend around 20 with them monthly. I already trialing them and cancled hifi plus under 3 mo trail. I reported them clever bug on search web app and it’s still not fix. Themost fun thing about them is when I canceled, they tried to offer 30% off from their hifi plus for 6 months I believe? No thanks.

    I understand that if they have made their business model stand from the past, it’d be nice to give more for music I listen, but after all these news I really do not trust my faves will see a dime from Tidals. It’s all going to sony and warner music and big things.

    After reading those two posted items and a bit of research I’m inclined to agree with you both. I suppose time will tell if they honor what they say they will do.

    You can see from their app, they promote only music of their creators on their main page.

    I don’t think Deezer needs much to overgrow them, at least I didn’t see bad news about Deezer.

    Usually Tidal could be great, but they need to change owners maybe.

    Feeling like certain artists were being pushed on me has been a grip I’ve had with Tidal both now and in the past.
