It's been a long time that I was displeased with the way Spotify gives money from my subscription to artists I don't listen to, and very little to the ones I want to support. That has been well documented over the years. In addition they gave loads of money to podcasters such as Joe Rogan with a podcast subscription was forced onto me. With Spotify's support to the new American president, I finally looked into alternatives.
I always thought that I was locked into it but importing all my data was easy. I chose Deezer, which has a procedure for importing from Spotify. It was quick and found 99,6% of the tracks. It recreated my playlists. The tracks it could not find were either unimportant or were in fact available (it just failed to match them).
So far, I like it. And the subscription costs the same.
Lastly, Spotify did not care about my cancellation. I tried to leave feedback, but all I could find was a chatbot that repeated itself into a loop.
I don't know if Deezer is the best alternative. (I also have Bandcamp, and I use it to support artists directly, but it does not serve the same purpose.) Feel free to comment with other alternatives!

"artist-centric remuneration" https://www.deezer.com/explore/artist-remuneration/
It seems that the money is more likely to go to the artist I listen to.

@gadmm ils auraient pu aller un cran plus loin (repartir l’argent d’un abonnement parmi ce que l’utilisateur écoute), mais c’est un pas dans la bonne direction. Il y a d’ailleurs une bonne série de Les Jours sur la rémunération dans les services de streaming
