Artists deserve to be compensated more fairly for their work. Something that might encourage people to pay artists, not because they *have* to via music streaming revenue, but because they know that the majority of their payment will actually (gasp!) go to the artist, would definitely be something I'd take part in.
So head on over to https://bandcamp.com/. They got free streaming through their website and app, and if you want to buy the release (digital or physical) they take a 35% cut, the rest goes entirely to the artists.
Artists set the minimum price on releases, but you can pay more if you want to.
Lots of interesting artists, and they got a weekly podcast showcasing lots of different music, which can be a great way to explore new territory.
