The other downside for artists promoting on Tidal is how long they take to pay out royalties to independent artists. While Spotify pays out royalties every 30-90 days, Tidal takes much longer and usually it takes them 12+ MONTHS. (The last Tidal royalty payout took 13 months)

We do not and cannot control any royalty payouts. That is strictly between Tidal, your distributor, and the artist/label. Please keep in mind that Tidal does have a poor reputation when it comes to payout royalties consistently and on time.
