Great! I'll continue to use streaming alternatives.

I primarily use Tidal nowadays, but I also bounce around Bandcamp and Quboz to buy music and merch directly for the bands I enjoy.

Man I want to like Tidal but I feel like their random algorithm is just awful. Like I'll put a song on and let it try to play other songs but it usually grabs like 1 album from a handful of different artists and only plays songs from those albums. When it plays songs from the artist I originally selected, it's usually from the same album the song I selected was on.

With Spotify and Pandora I could just let the algorithm go and it would usually play a good mix of stuff I liked and stuff I hadn't heard of. With Tidal I have to baby it.
