TheFaderWhat are you considering “visuals”? Just music videos?
It's not just a music video though. Whatever look and personality you cultivate is going into that. The single you're pushing is going into that. Everything kind of meets there.

GoshI'm reading between the lines and having a bit of foresight here
Obviously it says why, it's just obvious they value themselves more than billboard values them, and the same billboard has been so s***ty lately, I wouldn't be surprised if Youtube took over 10-15 years
Sooner because realistically it's the largest streamer for video and music once they drop a chart of any kind it's over for Billboard
Dec 17, 2025GoshCant see how that they dont notice
Maybe they are so expensive they look at it like a short term net positive
if you thought the budget for videos was low now lol they will be non existent

BRAVEKilling music videos is gonna be even worse for albums sales in such an increasingly visual world, and I highly doubt the industry recognizes that inevitable fact
When Drake had tiktokers help him make Toosie Slide the music video died because it was one of the biggest artist in the world essentially admitting nothing he could make on his own was gonna outdo fans making their own music videos and choreography plus he didn't have to pay em.
If you're a small artist you're better off paying a TikToker to dance to your song which is a shame

YouTube doesn't come closs sadly

CapriJust get rid of billboard altogether. Music would 100x better if there weren’t any spots to chase for popularity
Labels, industry artists, and investors need a metric to quantify performance in a way that justifies their continued existence

I feel like you still need video for social media
Dec 17, 2025i hate this if this should mean that there will be even less music videos now and especially less music videos with quality and actual thought put into them

In the future everyone will have their own award shows and their own charts / metrics just to be self masturbatory and glaze themselves

People forgetting who owns YouTube. This s*** is very doable.
