This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer's income actually goes to the artists.

I like deezer and I like that they are not part of big tech. It's just a small French company with a quality product as an alternative to Spotify, which is in bed with Google and everyone else.
Well worth the money.
AFAIR, they were aso one of the companies that paid most onto artists.

Deezer pays slightly more but Spotify has more users, so it seems to be about the same.
Point being if you want to maximize your indirect support to the artist, Deezer is one of the best options.
Nah, fuck them for using crappy MP3 as their lossy codec. Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis, with some AAC sprinkled in.
