Point taken, guess I remembered it wrong. But if you take a look at the arch wiki, they say that your mentioned client is actually not official.

This article is mainly about the semi-official, proprietary Spotify for Linux client, which is developed by Spotify’s engineers in their spare time and not actively supported by Spotify.

No not at all

Yes!

I’m not arguing against his personal opinions, I’m arguing against his conclusion that tidal is not worth it (for everyone,because that is how it is worded).

How is it of your concern how I spend my time?

I’m talking in the context of streaming services here…

Maybe you’re right with the Linux client part, but I don’t know any other streaming service that does provide one? At least Spotify and Apple Music don’t. Does it make them also not worth it? I would disagree.

I never said tidal is the best app to support artists. In that regard there is a better option, just give them your money for free. I meant as a streaming service, quality wise and in terms of paying artists, there are no better options.

What I didn’t like about your OP was the fact that you laid your personal opinions out and then concluded that tidal is not worth it. Doesn’t make me a shill when I answer with counterpoints.

What do you mean? I’m interested in his opinion and he wrote it like it was an absolute fact. Poor way to start a discussion imo.

honestly it’s not really good

*for you it isn’t

the search sucks

what’s wrong with it? works fine for me

no offline mode on desktop

why would you need it? it’s supported on phones, just listen via phone?

no official Linux client

Neither does apple music. Tidal are open sourcing their SDK though

an incomplete catalog

*for you. for me there isn’t

It’s not worth it, even if they are the least bad for paying artists

Again, for you. On paper, tidal is the better option and I rather support artists than some questionable monopolistic corporation

Leipzig and Dresden are fine. Especially Leipzig as it’s a student city, so of course it features more progressive people.

All the other, smaller cities, are not though. Erfurt, Jena, Chemnitz, Halle, … They are all considered right wing cities. Rural areas are generally more conservative and right leaning, I think that’s a global phenomenon.
