seriously tho, what a mess. I will continue giving Spotify my coins~
basically
The way BBHMM re-exploded back to #1 after the performance.
The gap keeps getting bigger.
I never complained. I think it's better to get something, as opposed to get nothing be pirated.
As Spotify grows, so does the revenue. It's not idea, but it's better than the other alternative.

I mean the owner of TIDAL owns a record label but he's pushing 'streaming doesn't reimburse the artists!' as a USP??? Like..........ok

Bey could have added some unreleased songs from her self titled or Kanye dropped his album.
I've been supporting Spotify for 2 years. I was never on Swift's "Spotify is evil and takes everyone's money" agenda. However, compared to TIDAL, Spotify looks like the good guy.

Pretty much this. I never bought into that bullshit crusade.
Well, I guess not everyone was against Spotify, but I swear I saw people complaining of how the revenue was splitted in this same thread (well, technically, OT10).
Edit: Also, I think some people around here liked f(x), it looks like they aren't dead \o/

You're not wrong. A few have complained just not sure in this thread.
But I have seen it too.

I used to complain about Spitify tbh but I have since seen the erròr of my ways
If you use it as a music discovery service like I do and then buy stuff you like, I think it can be a great tool
Also it's better than piracy even if you don't use it for discovery, so I was 100% wrong

It takes a new perspective to come around later sometimes. No shame in that.
I do think labels and artists need to take this into account instead of screaming I want moar money.
I mean sure that might not be what they are trying to convey but it sure looks like it.
I think the biggest issue with Spotify is with smaller artists...that's what people like Thom Yorke have always complained about. And I respect Björk's view as well to some extent. But like....Taylor Swift complaining that the sound mixers or whatever don't get paid enough? Maybe you could give them some of your paycheque or something, instead of blaming the failures of music publishers on the users of streaming services.....

Yeah, this was my original concern but I never realised that it doesn't apply to any of the big artists. It's only really indies that it affects/hurts.

My god is this conference cringeworthy. I feel like I am watching an unaired episode of Empire.

The Rhat is doing the most.
Why the hell is that Tidal thread turning into another Pop debate? Can we have ONE thread EVER where a pop star gets mentioned and we don't have a debate about "Wahhhhh!! But Pop stars don't write their own songs or play instruments!! Why are they more popular than the SHIT band I want everyone to care about!?"
I mean, not only is it completely irrelevant to that thread, but nobody cares. The MILLIONS OF people around the globe spending BILLIONS of dollars living and loving and hating and fucking and dancing and creating memories to Pop music don't give a fuck that the artist didn't produce or write the songs. And even if the Pop stars were writing their own songs, you wouldn't give them credit anyway because "LOL Pop music."
Like, get over it.
Oh, but JT, he's totally legit though.

JT is proof that "artistic legitimacy" is all about marketing. And having a penis.

What kills me about that is the last time I checked the human voice is an instrument. It was the first instrument ever.
"But auto tune." Piss off please.
