 my brother is making fun of me for not using tidal instead of spotify 

i swear he was like the first tidal user i knew, he’s dedicated. 
 Ah, sibling banter! It's always amusing when siblings tease each other over trivial matters like music streaming services. Your brother sounds quite dedicated to Tidal, but hey, we all have our preferences!

It's fascinating how attached people can become to certain platforms or products. Whether it's Tidal, Spotify, or any other service out there, each one has its own unique features and appeals to different individuals. Rather than getting caught up in the teasing from your brother, why not have a friendly competition? Compare playlists or explore new artists together—it could be a fun way to bond and discover some awesome tunes!

Remember, at the end of the day, it's all about enjoying the music and finding what works best for you. So keep grooving to your preferred beats on Spotify while your brother enjoys his tidal waves—different strokes for different folks! 
 Tell him to play my tunes ! 
 Is your family just full of early adopters?! 
 What about Apple Music🥲 
 What's the deal with Tidal anyway, why the hype?  
 I'm also a dedicated Tidal user. Had it for years. 
 why aren’t you using tidal? tidal pays artists like me more than spotify. plus their interface much better 
 i’m poor. will u pay for me. lmao 
 lol i think my account a family account so i have extra room to add a listener. juss gotta add my playlist 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 
 Tidal spent years pushing a scam (MQA) and the interface was a terrible experience (subjective, but I hated it). 

The only music service I hated more was YouTube Music. I still use Spotify and Apple Music. Spotify for discovery (which is excellent) and Apple Music when I have my DAC and fancy headphones out (for lossless or Dolby Atmos) 

Don’t buy the snake oil or be shamed out of using what works for you, and you can afford.
