Tidal is a flaming piece of shit that has been failing since before its announcement. Sprint bought into it because they are incompetent. There are no actual Tidal customers. Not literally, there are probably about 300,000 actual Tidal
users worldwide. (Spotify = over 40,000,000)
Tidal doesn't own Prince songs. Prince's estate and Warner Music owns Prince songs.
Prince, in a terrible mistake of understanding how the new media world will work, decided to limit his streaming to Tidal.
Prince intentionally decided that his music should only be limited to a certain number of fans. A very very small number of them. You should ONLY be angry with Prince for making that decision. He thought it would make him more money but exclusivity deals are failing to do that...!
HOWEVER, that exclusivity ended when Prince ended, and Spotify will start streaming Prince in February. (That was also announced yesterday)
ALL music streaming services that will survive have a free ad-supported model, accessible by everyone.
NOTHING to worry about. N O T H I N G
