so I was just reading that music streaming sites have not really been profitable anyway....

not surprised in order to get access to music you have to make terrible deals with record companies to have their content. allot of the money even with tidal is gone to pay record companies and songwriters outside the main artist.
 
This article actually does a good job of explaining the issues tidal has with making profits and their distribution to artists owning shares

Finally, it’s not clear how far this worker-ownership will extend. If the original 16 artists each received a 3 percent stake in Tidal, that’s nearly half the company already disbursed. Presumably, Jay Z intends to keep a large chunk as well. If Jay Z intends to allow all artists an ownership stake in Tidal, how much will less famous artists receive? I don’t expect those details to become public, at least not anytime soon. But it’s an important consideration. If Tidal ends up mostly owned by global music icons and leaves behind thousands of other artists, then it will not ensure artists are fairly compensated for their work. It’ll just be a way for the richest artists to get even richer.

Still, if the main problem with Tidal is that it unequally distributes profits, it will have succeeded. In that situation, the company would have both accumulated a big subscription base and made significant profits from those users. The latter point is far harder than it sounds. Streaming music services like Spotify are struggling to improve their profits even as the number of users grows rapidly. The real profits are instead flowing to the record labels.

Ultimately, Jay Z has set his sights on the wrong target. It's not companies like Spotify that are preventing music artists from receiving their just rewards. It's the record labels—and there's nothing inherent about Tidal that will break the record labels' stranglehold on the industry. Why does Jay Z think he'll be able to succeed in doing what Spotify and other streaming services have failed to do? There's no question that he has shown great savvy and success in the music business, but perhaps it's going to his head.

Apple Music has quickly reversed its position on royalties for artists in the wake of the high-profile protest from artist Taylor Swift.

The popular singer-songwriter had taken to Tumblr on Sunday to tell her fans in a blog post that she would be withdrawing her album "1989" from the Apple Music streaming servicewhen it launches next week. When the subscription-based streaming service was announced at Apple's recent WWDC, the iPhone maker said it was offering a three-month free trial of the service for users. Swift noted that during that trial Apple would not be paying royalties on any tracks that were streamed.

"I'm not sure you know that Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months," Swift wrote. "I find it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company."

Swift said that her removal of her popular album was not about her own earnings:

"This is about the young songwriter who just got his or her first cut and thought that the royalties from that would get them out of debt."



While Apple was not initially making a comment, its senior VP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue later took to twitter to announce that the company was reversing its 'no pay' policy.
