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?

Personally I'm going for the level headed escalating approach. As with the real thing, I'm not actively buying anything American. I drive a Tesla (bought before all of this), stream Netflix, whatever else. But I'm willing to escalate if this drags out. Your god damn right if the used car market goes haywire again, that I'm going to dump the car (it's awkward to drive it now after all of this). I'm willing to escalate my anti-american stance, I'll cancel Netflix and whatever else. I'm willing to be reasonable. Problem is, I'm not sure they are ever going to be. The trump administration certainly isn't showing a willingness to be level headed.
