I’ll pitch Bandcamp as an option, especially if/when they bring back Bandcamp Fridays next year (where they don’t take a cut on specific days). Not everyone’s on it, but it’s generally a reasonable, legal option for those artists that are.
Instead of paying $10/month for a music subscription, I buy 10-15 albums a year, mostly on bandcamp. I self-host Navidrome so I can stream my music on my devices.
Move to Tidal if you value artists
Move to piracy and donate to the artists directly to better support the artist, if that is an option.
Tidal still take a cut from the artists revenue.

Win win
Some artists don’t have donation links, so Tidal is the best bet
If they weren’t so focused on Europe/the Americas, sure.
