Provide an alternative with a better user experience, or users won't switch.
Quobuz, Tidal, et al need to rapidly improve their feature set to match Spotify (primarily group / jam sessions, recommendation engine, and device / app support) or this proposal has less hope than convincing everyone to go back to pirating.
I tried Qobuz and the very first artist I searched for, it didn't have. Liking quite a lot of obscure artists is a curse.
That's the main reason I dropped Spotify and streaming in general. It just really bummed me out when making playlists and not finding my favorite songs to fill it.
