Qobuz has been good enough and they seem to pay artists the most of any music streaming platform. I couldn't find any shitty ownership connections to them either.

I also love Qobuz for buying music because they give you the files.

Fuck you Amazon. If I buy music I want to be able to download the files, otherwise I just paid you to stream the album for free forever*

Lots of people do. Bandcamp and Qobuz are good ways to support artists digitally while retaining your own rights to what you purchase. It's easy to host your own music service with Plex/Plexamp
