youtube is, and remains, my go-to for most music. i've never felt a need for spotify, i'm not in apple's ecosystem, and unsurprisingly, you can still find pretty much anybody and anything on youtube--i have no shortage of stuff in my playlists with less than a thousand views, and some with even fewer views than that.

good example just scanning my list of music: Piry Reis - Limites. 439 views as of now, a not insubstantial number of which are because i've spread this particular song around!

I do stream from Youtube quite a bit but when I want to support an artist, I usually try to buy it in some fashion. Note that iTunes is usable on Windows so I wouldn't really say it's necessarily part of the Apple ecosystem in the way that term's been used (Devices or software running and integrated only into other Apple products).
