Streaming services don't support artists in any meaningful way.

Instead, buy music for download when it's available (Bandcamp and the like).

If not possible, just pirate it and buy merchandise or go to a concert. You will bring as much revenue to the artists this way, than listening to them on Spotify for 200 years non stop, and it will be cheaper for you in the end.
