As a listener who occasionally uses tidal it seems like it is more likely to play more well known artists as opposed to Spotify which seems to tend towards almost royalty free soundalike stuff if you take your finger off the skip button momentarily.
So from that I would assume it's a lot harder to gain an audience on tidal and thats probably part of why they pay better, as the subscription pie is being split up into fewer pieces. Also maybe tidal are still manipulating thier streaming traffic count data in favour of investors like they have in the past.
