Yeah, Bandcamp is great if you already have a following, but discoverability is subpar.
I like Tidal, but as you said, user experience is also subpar to other platforms.
I am using Deezer - Discoverability is good, User experience is as expected, they pay the artists that drive their income more than the basic rates while cutting out shit that tries to grab money, and with deemix-gui i can grab whole discographies for download to make sure the stuff i like doesn’t disappear into the void. When on the road i use Deezers app so i can discover new artists, while sorting it out at home and finally downloading whatever really hits my taste.
