While my music remains on Spotify for availability purposes, I do not actively support that platform for two main reasons: The first one is because they no longer give royalties for tracks that get less than 1000 streams per year. While this helps reducing the amount of spam content such as 60 seconds noise tracks as well as other content aimed at gaming the system, this also hurts legitimate content from independent artists. The second reason is because of recent reports about Spotify allegedly loading playlists with their own tracks (using fake artist accounts) so that fewer listens and royalties get to legitimate artists. As a result the Spotify links are less visible on my profile, but I keep my music there for convenience because I want you fans to be able to listen to my music where you want.

If you are a band, music producer or musician and are looking for places to monetize your music, then I recommend Ampwall, Bandcamp or Mirlo. There are more alternatives that can be accessed on my website through my music links as well, but I would say that Ampwall, Bandcamp and Mirlo are my favorite. When it comes to streaming-only solutions I recommend TIDAL.
