Struggling, what to do about Tidal? (self.buycanadian)

When Neil Young asked us to switch to Tidal, I went along and loved that it paid the artists 10x more per stream.

But Tidal is American owned, spotify isn't...

I'm struggling on this one, a lot of the lil punk bands I love could really use the revenue but, y'know, trade war etc.

Anyone have any thoughts to assuage a guilty conscience on this one?

If you buy music from there, does it include DRM that prevents you from playing it without their online service?

24-bit FLAC.

Does that just require a subscription?

I haven't used Qobuz in the past so take that with a grain of salt but I believe the downloader works with the streaming subscription. You can purchase album properly in FLAC, and even some in DSD and DXD.
